WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat
cushion could cause serious injury.
WARNING!

vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that
you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be
severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.

this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a
child restraint top tether strap.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspection of the head restraint.
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will be split in two halves, with the front half being soft foam
and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends forward to
minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is designed
to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types
of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further
information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the
push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
For comfort the Active Head Restraints can be tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull forward on the bottom of the head restraint. Push
rearward on the bottom of the head restraint to move the head restraint away from your head.

Third Row Seats
Third Row Power Recliner
The power recline feature, located on the side of the seat cushion, adjusts the seatback angle
forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
NOTE:
Disconnect the center shoulder belt from the
small buckle and lower the head restraints be-
fore attempting to fold/stow the power third
row seats.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located
in the left rear trim panel as part of a switch bank.
Left and right third row seats can be folded
individually or together. The third row power
folding seats adjust to multiple positions.
The switch is only functional when the liftgate is
open and the vehicle is in PARK.
To abort seat operation while the seat is in
motion, press a different seat position selector
switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired position can be selected.
The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system
detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short distance to move the seat
away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the button again for the
desired position.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat folding instructions.
