Headrest (for front seat)
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 passen-
ger, but also helps protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower theheadrest, push and hold the release
button (2) and lower the headrest tothe desired position (3).
OHM038048N
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at thesame height of the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravityof 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 seat-
back is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Headrests may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

from moving backward and thus
helps minimize neck injuries.Seatback pocket

WARNING - Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly. If
the seatback is returned with-
out holding it, the back of the
seat could spring forward
resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.
WARNING - 3rd row seat
The headrest on the 3rd row seat should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at thesame height of the top of the
occupant's eyes.
If the tailgate is pushed down to
close it when a passenger's
head is not against a properlyadjusted headrest or a tall per-
son is seated, the tailgate may
hit the occupant's head, which
could cause injury.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat-
back to its upright position after
being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Do
not allow the seat belt webbing
or buckle to get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. Ensure
that the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position
by pushing on the top of the
seatback. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.

Headrest (for rear seat) The rear seat(s) is equipped with headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and comfort.

fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
OHM038049N
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the heightof the headrest to the lowestposition. The rear seat headrest can reduce the visibility of therear area.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is atthe same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's headis similar 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 cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-ommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to an occupant
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against severe
neck injuries when properlyadjusted.
