WARNING
•The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger sits
well back and straight up in the seat. If the
seat back is reclined, the risk of sliding un-
der the lap belt and being injured is in-
creased.
•For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor and adjust
the seat properly. (SeeSeat beltslater in
this section.)
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others, or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle
on a warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
•Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving
so full attention may be given to vehicle
operation. The seat may move suddenly and
could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damage.

Folding
The luggage compartment loading capacity can
be increased by folding the rear seat backs
forward.
To fold the seat back
:
1. Ensure head restraints are properly stowed,see Head restraints/Headrests later in this
section.
2. Release the seat back lock by pulling the release handle.
3. Fold the seat back forward . 4. Insert the seat belt into the seat belt holder.
To return the seat back to an upright position
:
1. Make sure the seat belts are clear of the seat
back latch mechanism.
2. Lift the seat back up and push firmly to lock.
3. If the red marker is visible then the seat back has not latched properly — release and then
re-latch the seat.

the seating position. See Head
restraints/Headrests later in this section.

ARMREST (IF EQUIPPED)
Rear
Pull the tab and draw the armrest1forward
until it is horizontal.
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a non-removable head rest.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury in cer-
tain rear end collisions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be adjusted prop-
erly, as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses the seat.
Do not attach anything to the head restraint/
headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/
headrest. Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was removed, rein- stall and properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the seating
position. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
•Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints/headrests that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
•Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.
•The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
•Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest
position.
