OQXI039009OQXI039009
The rear seats are equipped with
headrests in the outboard seating
positions for the occupant’s safety and
comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a
collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your
headrests:
• Always properly adjust the headrests
for all passengers BEFORE starting
the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat with
the headrests removed.
•
OLF034072NOLF034072N
Adjust the headrests so the middle of
the headrests is at the same height as
the height of the top of the eyes.
• NEVER adjust the headrest position
of the driver’s seat when the vehicle
is in motion.
• Adjust the headrest 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 headrest locks into
position after adjusting it.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or pull
on the headrests.

The armrest is located in the center of
the rear seat. Pull the armrest down from
the seatback to use it.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions) may be
folded to facilitate carrying long items or
to increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
• Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
the vehicle is moving as this is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This could
result in serious 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 seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position after being folded
down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. Do not allow the
seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.
Ensure that the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sudden
stop, the seat could fold down and
allow cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember to
return the rear shoulder belts to their
proper position.
• Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the seat belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
Intelligent variable transmission is in P
(Park) or the Manual transmission is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking brake
is securely applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.

however, the belt will lock into position.
It will also lock if you try to lean forward
too quickly.

WARNING
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident.Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:
• Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it
fits snugly.This allows your strong
pelvic bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the chance of
internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.
• Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.
OHSS038102OHSS038102
WARNING
You should place the lap belt portion
as low as possible and snugly across
your hips, not on your waist. If the lap
belt is located too high on your waist, it
may increase the chance of injury in the
event of a collision. Both arms should
not be under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the other
under, as shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)
OIB034039OIB034039
Your vehicle is equipped with driver’s
and front passenger’s pre-tensioner
seat belts (retractor pre-tensioner).The
purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure the seat belts fit tightly against the
occupant’s body in certain frontal or
side collision(s). The pre-tensioner seat
belts may be activated in crashes where
the frontal or side collision(s) is severe
enough, together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain frontal collisions,
the pre-tensioner will activate and pull
the seat belt into tighter contact against
the occupant’s body.
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the belt
webbing is not loose or twisted and
always sit properly on your seat.
