Head restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly
they are designed to help protect
passengers from whiplash and other
neck and spinal injuries during an
accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your head
restraints:
Always properly adjust the
head restraints for all passen-
gers BEFORE starting the
vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint
removed or reversed.

WARNING
To prevent damage, NEVER hit
or pull on the head restraints.
CAUTION(Continued)


Adjust the head restraints so
the middle of the head
restraints is at the same
height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
NEVER adjust the head
restraint position of the dri-
ver's seat when the vehicle is
in motion.
Adjust the head restraint as
close to the passenger's head
as possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
Make sure the head restraint
locks into position after

To prevent damage to the air
ventilation seat:
Use the air ventilation seat
ONLY when the climate con-
trol system is on. Using the air
ventilation seat for prolonged
periods of time with the cli-
mate control system off could
cause the air ventilation seat
to malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alco-
hol or gasoline to clean the
seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the
surface of the front seats and
seatbacks; this may cause the
air vent holes to become
blocked and not work proper-
ly.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not place materials such
as plastic bags or newspa-
pers under the seats. They
may block the air intake caus-
ing the air vents not to work
properly.

ers. It may damage the air ven-
tilation seats.
If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is
no change, have your vehicle
