Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head
should rest against the center of the restraint. The
tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint
up as far as it will go. Then push the release button,
and pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs
back in place, then adjust the head restraint to
an appropriate height while pressing the release
button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it
is locked in position.
Rear center seat
Front or rear outer seat
For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before
driving.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
Floor Mats Position the front and rear seat floor mats
properly, and anchor them. If they are not properly
positioned, the floor mats can interfere with the
front seat functions.
Do not put additional floor mats on top
of the anchored mats.

Emergency Assistance
If your vehicle’s airbags deploy or if the unit

vehicle automatically attempts to connect to the

Once connected, information about your vehicle,
its positioning, and its condition will be sent to the
operator. You can also speak to the operator when
connected.
To manually connect to the operator, open the cover on the ceiling console and
press ASSIST when the vehicle is on.

Basic Navigation Operation
A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current
location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system
using voice commands or the system controls.

• When using the Talk button, wait for a beep before saying a command.
• To bypass the system prompts, simply press the Talk button again to say your
command.
• When the Talk button is pressed, all available voice commands are highlighted
in yellow.
• Speak in a clear, natural voice.
