Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

ly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

restraint to the proper
position. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to the head restraint.Head restraints * : Seating 7 passengers
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 in
jury 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 seatback must be adjusted to the upright position and the head restraint
must be adjusted to
the proper position
before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver shou
ld never adjust 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.
 When a person sits in the second center seating position, pull up
the head restraint
to a height at which it locks in position. Besure to make this adjustment before start- ing to drive. Serious injuries could other- wise be suffered in the result of an impact.NOTE
 The head restraint height in the second row outboard seats and the third row seats cannot be adjusted.WA R N I N G

When returning a seat back to its seating position after fold
ing down, make sure
that the seat is firmly secured and seat beltbuckles are in proper position. If the seat is not secured, it could move causing a serious accident. Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while the vehicle

flying objects enter-
ing the passenger compartment during sud-den braking could result
in a serious accident
and/or injury. Seats should always be
operated by an adult.
