SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 65
Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front seats have
adjustable head restraints in the
outboard seating positions.
{Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/spinal
injury in a crash. Do not drive until
the head restraints for all occupants
are installed and adjusted properly.
If your vehicle has rear head
restraints that fold down, always
return them to the full upright
position whenever an occupant is
seated in the seat.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's
head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.

Reclining Seatbacks
Platinum Seat Shown, Base andUplevel Seats Similar
To adjust:
. Tilt the top of the control
rearward to recline.
. Tilt the top of the control forward

{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled up,
the seat belts cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be
there, not at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back
in the seat and wear the seat belt
properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.

transmitters 1 and 2 can be used for
automatic memory recalls. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) welcome
message indicating the transmitter
number may display for the first few ignition cycles following a transmitter
change. For Auto Memory Recall to
