the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.

reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.

Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.GUID-04066S0006EMRear Seat

Sport Seat Head
Restraints
Your vehicle may be equipped with
non-adjustable head restraints on the
driver's and passenger's seatbacks.

consist of a trimmed foam covering
over the upper structure of the
seatbacks and are intended to help
protect you and the passenger from
neck injury.
Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,
on-road positions so that the head
restraint is positioned as close as
possible to the back of your head.

securely into position. Otherwise, the seat
will not provide the proper stability for
passengers. An improperly latched
seatback could cause serious injury.

vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are
placed in their proper positions in order to
minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
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.

To allow maximum visibility for the
driver, if the head restraints are not
used, lower the head restraints to the
