Headrest (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passenger,
but also helps protect the head and
neck in the event of a rear collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.
WARNING- Headrest
removal/adjustment
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed.
Headrests can provide critical
neck and head support in a
crash.
Do not adjust the headrest height while the vehicle is in
motion. Driver may lose con-
trol of the vehicle.

Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Make sure the rear seat belt web-bing is in the guide to prevent the
seat belt from being damaged.
2. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
3. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.
WARNING - Folded
Seatback
The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects that could
not otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow a passenger to sit on top of the folded down
seatback while the car is mov-
ing. This is not a proper seat-
ing position since the seat
has important crash protec-
tion features and seat belts
are not available in this seat
configuration.
To reduce the risk of injury caused by sliding cargo within
the passenger compartment
of the vehicle, objects carried
on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than
the top of the front seats.
WARNING - Objects
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.
