Never put your hands and fingers
around the moving parts of the seat
and armrest.
Putting your hands and
fingers around
the moving parts of the seat and
armrest is dangerous as they could get
injured.
Never position the shoulder portion
of a seat belt over the armrest.
Positioning the shoulder portion of a
second-row seat belt over the armrest
is dangerous as it cannot provide
adequate protection in a collision and
could result in serious injuries.
Do not recline a second-row seatback
when the third-row seat is occupied.
Reclining the second-row seatback
when the third-row seat is occupied is
dangerous. Because the clearance in
the third-row seat is limited, occupants
in the third-row seat could be hurt
seriously on a reclined second-row
seatback.
CAUTION
When operating the seat, be careful
not to get your hand or foot caught,
or hit your head.
Before moving the second-row seat,
make sure that the head restraint is
at the lowest position. If the
second-row seat is folded forward
while the head restraint is pulled up,
there will not be enough space for
getting in or out of the vehicle which
could cause an occupant to trip and
fall resulting in injury.
Check the position of a front seat
before folding a second-row
seatback.
Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold a
second-row seatback all the way
down because it may hit the
seatback of the front seat which
could scratch or damage the front
seat or its pocket. Remove the head
restraint on the second-row
outboard seat if necessary.

Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
second-row/third-row center seat
*.
The head restraints are intended to
help protect you and the passengers
from neck injury.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Head Restraints
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
After installing a head restraint, try
lifting it to make sure that it does not
pull out.
Driving with an unsecured head
restraint is dangerous as the
effectiveness of the head restraint will
be compromised which could cause it
to unexpectedly detach from the seat.
(Third-row seat)
Always drive with the head restraints
in their upright positions when the
third-row seats are occupied, and
make sure they are securely locked in
place.
Driving with the head restraints folded
down is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.

CAUTION
When installing a head restraint,
make sure that it is installed correctly
with the front of the head restraint
facing forward. If the head restraint is
installed incorrectly, it could detach
from the seat during a collision and
result in injury.
The head restraints on each of the
front and second-row/third-row
seats are specialized to each seat. Do
not switch around the head restraint
positions. If a head restraint is not
installed to its correct seat position,
the
effectiveness of the head restraint
during a collision will be
compromised which could cause
injury.
How to Use the Head
Restraints
Adjusting the Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that the
center is even with the top of the
passenger's ears.

Warnings and CautionsFor Child-restraint Systems
WARNING
Use the correct size child-restraint
system.
For effective protection in vehicle
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained using a
seat belt or child-restraint system
depending on age and size. If not, the
child could be seriously injured or even
killed in an accident.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and always keep the
child-restraint system buckled down.
An unsecured child-restraint system is
dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure any
child-restraint system is properly
secured in place according to the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions. When not in use, remove
it from the vehicle or fasten it with a
seat belt, or attach it to BOTH LATCH
lower anchors for LATCH
child-restraint systems and the
corresponding tether anchor.
Always secure a child in a proper
child-restraint system.
Holding a child in your arms while the
vehicle is moving is extremely
dangerous. No matter how strong the
person may be, he or she cannot hold
onto a child in a sudden stop or
collision and it could result in serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate
accident, the child may be exposed to
air bag forces that could result in
serious injury or death to the child, or
the child may be slammed into an
adult, causing injury to both child and
adult.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint
system in the front seat with an air
bag that could deploy.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly
dangerous even though you may feel
assured that a front passenger air bag
will not deploy based on the fact that
the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates.
The child-restraint system can be hit by
a deploying air bag and moved
violently backward resulting in serious
injury or death to the child.

Ve h i c l e s w i t h a f r o nt passenger air bag
have the following warning label. The
warning label reminds you not to put a
rear-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat at any time.
Do not install a front-facing
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat unless it is
unavoidable.
In a collision, the force of a deploying
air bag could cause serious injury or
death to the child. If installing a
front-facing child-restraint system on
the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, move the front passenger
seat as far back as possible and adjust
the seat bottom (height adjustable seat
bottom) to the highest position at
which the seat belt fastening the
child-restraint system is securely
tightened.
Seating a child in a child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat is
dangerous under certain conditions .
Your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger seat weight sensors. Even
with the front passenger seat weight
sensors, if you must use the front
passenger seat to seat a child, using a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat un der the following
conditions increases the danger of the
front passenger air bag deploying and
could result in serious injury or death
to the child.
The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does not
illuminate when seating a child in the
child-restraint system.
Luggage or other items are placed on
the seat with the child in the
child-restraint system.
A rear passenger or luggage pushing
or pulling down on the front
passenger seatback.
Luggage or other items are placed on
the seatback or hung on the head
restraint.
The seat is washed.
Liquids are spilled on the seat.
The front passenger seat is moved
backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.
The front passenger seatback
contacts the rear seat.
Luggage or other items are placed
between the front passenger seat
and driver seat.
An electric device is put on the front
passenger's seat.
An additional electrical device, such
as a seat warmer is installed to the
surface of the front passenger seat.
Any accessories, which might
increase the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat, are
attached to the front passenger seat.

The designated positions with seat
belts on the rear seats are the safest
places for children. Always use seat
belts and child restraints.
Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time.
Using one seat belt for more than one
person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the
impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together
and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one
person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
Tethered Child-Restraint Systems
Work Only on Tether-Equipped Rear
Seats.
Installation of a tether equipped
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat defeats the safety
design of the system and will result in
an increased chance of serious injury if
the child-restraint system goes forward
without benefit of being tethered.
Place tether equipped child-restraint
systems where there are tether
anchors.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can
become very hot in a closed vehicle
during warm weather. To avoid burning
yourself or a child, check them before
you or your child touches them.
