To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint
is at your ear level
when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their ear level when seatedshould raise the restrain
t to the highest locked
position.  To raise the restraint,
pull it straight up.
 To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow. After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
Press the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrows. Then pull the head restraint up and out of the seatback.
WA R N I N G Driving without the
head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengersserious injury or deat
h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and proper
ly positioned when
the seat is occupied. In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the front seat- back must be adjusted to the upright posi- tion and the head restraint to the properposition before vehi
cle operation. The
driver should never ad
just the seat while
the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion
or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance betwee
n your head and the
restraint.

WA R N I N G To help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of an
accident, the head
restraints must be properly installed and positioned to proper height before vehicle operation.

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This pl
aces the infant too
close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured or
killed. Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If one must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward po
sition and make sure
the child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child.Airbag
WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone year old (unless
the infant outgrows
the seat sooner). This
allows the infant’s
neck and spine to de
velop enough to sup-
port the weight of their head in the eventof an accident. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result inserious injury or deat
h to your child in an
accident or
sudden stop.
After installation, push
and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is firmly secured. Ifthe child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in
the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre- vent it from being
thrown around inside
the vehicle during an accident.

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint installation function when you install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach- ing other items or e
quipment to the vehi-
cle.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and
wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used
to raise the child so
that the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt re
mains positioned low
across their hips. The
booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and ha
ve a label certifying
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle RestraintSystems and Booster Se
ats Safety Regula-
tions.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.

CAUTION The rear-view camera uses a wide-angle lens. As a result, imag
es and distances shown
on the screen are not exact. Actual distance may
be different from dis-
tance indica
ted by the lines on the screen,
depending on the loading condition of the vehicle and road
surface condition.
The reference lines for
distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface. In the following cases, objects shown on the screen will appear to be farther off than theyactually are.• When the rear of the vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and luggage in the ve
hicle. (Case 1)
• When there is an upward slope at the back. (Case 2)
Case 1 A- Actual objects B- Objects shown on the screen
CAUTION The reference lines for distance and vehicle width are intended to i
ndicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. They may not indica
te correct distance
depending on the shape of an obstacle.For example, when ther
e is an object behind
the vehicle that has uppe
r sections projecting
in the direction of the vehicle, the referencelines on the screen will
indicate that point A
is the farthest point a
nd point B is the closest
point to the vehicle. In
reality, point A and B
are actually the same distance from the vehi- cle, and point C is fa
rther off than point A
and B.Case 2 A- Actual objects B- Objects shown on the screen
