Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Seat cushion height
To change the height of the seat
cushion:
1. Push the front portion of the con-
trol switch up to raise or down to
lower the front part of the seat
cushion.
Push the rear portion of the control
switch up to raise or down to lower
the height of the seat cushion.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.
Lumbar support
• The lumbar support can be adjust-
ed by pressing the lumbar support
switch.
• Press the front portion of the
switch (1) to increase support or
the rear portion of the switch (2) to
decrease support.
• To move the support position up or
down, press switch (3) or (4).
The lumbar support does not operate
up or down when the lumbar support

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more importantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
•Be careful when loading
cargo through the rear pas-
senger seats to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle interior.
•When cargo is loaded through
the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.
•Unsecured cargo in the pas-
senger compartment can
cause damage to the vehicle
or injury to its occupants.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
•Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
•NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•
Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
•NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
•Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.
