ARMREST
Front
Pull the armrest down until it is horizontal.
SSS0963
Rear
Pull the armrest down until it is horizontal.
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.
HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

JVR0060X
The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure
them to the seat frame. .
Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if
the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat
belt to release the child. For the center
of the rear seat, the connector tonguemay also be released. Release the
connector tongue
*1by inserting a
suitable tool (such as a key)*2into the
connector buckle. If the seat belt can
not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, release the child by cutting
the seat belt with a suitable tool (such
as a knife or scissors) to release the
seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. See “Seats” (P.1-2) .
2. Make sure rear seat belt buckles are
removed from the stowed position. See
“Rear seat belt buckles” (P.1-16) .SSS0292
3. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractorand insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
.The retractor is designed to lockduring a sudden stop or on impact.
A slow pulling motion permits the
belt to move and allows you some
freedom of movement in the seat.
.If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull
the belt and release it. Then
smoothly pull the belt out of the
retractor.

Stowing rear center seat belt:
When folding down the rear seat, the rear center
seat belt can be retracted into a stowed position
as follows:
1. Hold the connector tongue
*1so that the
seat belt does not retract suddenly when the
tongue is released from the connector
buckle. Release the connector tongue
*1by inserting a suitable tool such as key*2into the connector buckle.
2. Retract the seat belt and secure the seat belt tongue and connector tongue on the
seat belt hook
*3.
WARNING
.Do not unfasten the rear center seat
belt connector except when folding
down the rear seat.
. When returning the seatback, be
sure to attach the rear center seat
belt connector.
SSS0966
Attaching rear center seat belt:
Always be sure the rear center seat belt
connector tongue and connector buckle are
attached. Disconnect only when folding down
the rear seat. To connect the buckle:
1. Remove the seat belt tongue and connector
tongue from the seat belt hook
*1.
2. Pull the seat belt and secure the connector buckle until it clicks
*2.
The rear center seat belt connector tongue can
be attached only into the rear center seat belt
connector buckle.
To fasten the seat belt, see “Fastening the seat
belts” (P.1-14) .
WARNING
. When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear
center seat belt connector is com-
pletely secured.
. If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured
in the correct position, serious per-
sonal injury may result in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

SSS0644LATCH rigid-mounted attachment
The child restraint top tether strap must be used
when installing the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments or seat belts.
See “Installing top tether strap” (P.1-37) for
installation instructions.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
.If the cargo cover (if so equipped)
contacts the top tether strap when it
is attached to the top tether anchor,
remove the cargo cover from the
vehicle or secure it on the cargo
floor below its attachment location.
If the cargo cover is not removed, it
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.
. Do not allow cargo to contact the
top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor. Properly
secure the cargo so it does not
contact the top tether strap. Cargo
that is not properly secured or cargo
that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.
Top tether anchor point locations
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

3. For child restraints that are equipped withwebbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the anchor attach-
ments. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your
hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while tightening the webbing
of the anchor attachments.
