protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback. Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.

increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the uprightposition and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.

on top of the folded down
seatback whilst the vehicle is
moving. This is not a proper

injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of
the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.

Head restraint
The vehicle’s front and rear seats have
adjustable head restraints. The head
restraints provide comfort for passen-
gers, 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.To prevent damage, NEVER hit or
pull on the head restraints.
NOTICE
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 vehi-
cle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraint
removed.
WARNING

Adjust the head restraints so
the middle of the head
restraint 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
adjusting it.
OLF034072N
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the head restraint to the low-
est position. The rear seat head
restraint can reduce the visibili-
ty of the rear area.
