Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
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.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.
Note:
Because the rear seat is designed as a
4+1 seat, the middle seat is of limited
use. It is recommended that this seat
only be used by a person who can use
the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seatbelts" in
"Safety" for further information.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
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.
The non-adjustable head restraints
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.

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.

driver, if the head restraints are not
used, lower the head restraints to the
