{Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for
all occupants are installed and
adjusted properly.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's
head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.

press the button located on the side
of the head restraint, and pull up orpush the head restraint down, and
release the button. Pull and push on
the head restraint after the button is
released to make sure that it is
locked in place.

and rearward, press the button
located on the side facing of the
head restraint and move it forward
or rearward until the desired locking
position is reached. Try to move the
head restraint after the button is
released to make sure that it is
locked in place.

54 Seats and Restraints
Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will
be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
Power Reclining Seatbacks
To adjust a power seatback:
.Tilt the top of the control
rearward to recline.
. Tilt the top of the control forward
to raise.

drivers to store and recall their
unique seat positions for driving the
vehicle, and a shared exit position
for getting out of the vehicle. Other
feature positions may also be set,
such as power mirrors and power
steering wheel, if equipped. Memory
