of the rear seat. Use the strap in the
center of the armrest to pull it down.
Rear occupant alert system (if equipped)
This function alerts the driver when
you get out of the car with the pas-
senger remaining in the 2nd row
seat.
If you open the door with the pas-
senger in the 2nd row seat, a warn-
ing message appears on the cluster
to give a first warning. If the move-
ment is detected in the 2nd row seat
after you lock all doors, a second
warning alerts you.
Make sure to check for passengers
in 2nd row seat before you get off.
For more details, refer to the “Rear
Occupant Alert System” in chap-
ter 3.
Head Restraints
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.
OTM038025
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 restraints
removed or reversed.
