Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers inan accident. Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts canreduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe frontal collision, yourvehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.  That all doors are full
y closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion.Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned againstthe body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.

For the driver and front pas- senger, adjust the seatbacks to the uprightposition before adjusting the head restraints. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to the head restraint.
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your eye level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their eye level when seated
should raise the restraint to the highest locked position.  To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.  To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in thedirection shown by the arrow.  After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked inposition.
Press the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrows. Then pull the headrestraint up and out of the seatback.
Head restraints Except for RECARO seat
WA R N I N G In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the head restraint must be adjusted to the proper position before vehi
cle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacksmust be adjusted to the upright position before adjusting the head restraints. The driver should never adjust the seat whilethe vehicle is in motion. Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident,always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.  Never place a cushion or similar device on the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.

Child restraint systems 4-14 Seat and restraint systems

The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instructionmanual accompanying the child restraint sys- tem. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that may vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat. Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat.  Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should use a suitable child seat or a booster seatin the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap/shoulder belt fits them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat.  Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt must be posi-tioned over the shoulder and across the chest, not across their neck, and with the lap belt positioned low on the child’s hips,not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be used to help achieve a proper seat belt fit. Follow the boosterseat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is certified as comply- ing with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.  Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle,even when you are wearing your seat belt. Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the event of an accident or sudden stop.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger airbag. During deployment of the airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facingchild restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.
