Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passenger,
but also helps to protect the head and
neck in the event of a collision.OANNSA2014OLM039303N
WARNING - Headrest
adjustment
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is simi-
lar with the height of the top of
their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may
occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Headrests may provide
protection against severe neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

Seat warmer (if equipped)

the front seats during cold weather. With the ignition switch in the ON
position, push either of the switches
to warm the driver's seat or the front
passenger's seat.

tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.

temperature setting of the seat is
changed as follows :
The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the ignition
switch is turned on.
With the seat warmer switch in the ON position, the heating system in
the seat turns off or on automati-
cally depending on the seat tem-
perature.

(Continued)
Sitting improperly or out of
position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on
the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
The SRS air bag system must deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an
occupant is out of position
because of not wearing a seat
belt, the air bag may forcefully
contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.(Continued)
Front air bags are not intend-ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. However, when frontal
deployment threshold is sat-
isfied at side-impact, front air
bags may deploy. In addition,
front air bags will not deploy
in frontal crashes below the
deployment threshold.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint sys-
tem must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely injured
or killed by an air bag deploy-
ment in case of an accident.
(Continued)(Continued)
Children age 12 and undermust always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
For maximum safety protec- tion in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seat-
ing position to minimize the
risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag while the vehicle
is in motion.
