Seats and Restraints 43

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

the button on the side of the head restraint
and pull up or push the head restraint down
and release the button.
Pull and push on the head restraint after the
button is released to make sure that it is
locked in place.
The front seat outboard head restraints are
not removable.
Rear Head Restraints
The vehicle’s rear seat has head restraints in
the outboard seating positions that cannot
be adjusted.
The head restraint can be folded forward to
allow for better visibility when the rear seat
is unoccupied. To fold the head restraint,
press the button on the side of the head
restraint.
When an occupant is in the seat, always
return the head restraint to the upright
position until it locks into place. Push and

Lumbar Adjustment
Power Lumbar

Reclining Seatbacks
{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.
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on
the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.
