Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must

properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it

Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower theheadrest to the desired position (3).
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middleof the headrest is at the same
height as the center of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo-ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.
When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the
headrest to the lowest position.The rear seat headrest can reducethe visibility of the rear area.

CAUTION
If you recline the seatback towards
the front with the headrest and seat cushion raised, the headrest may come in contact with the sunvisoror other parts of the vehicle.
