Seat Adjustments, Folding Rear Seat
The front head restraints adjust for
height. You need both hands to
adjust the restraint. Do not attempt
to adjust it while driving. To raise it,
pull upward. To lower the restraint,
push the release button and push the
restraint down.
To remove a head restraint for
cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as
it will go. Push the release button
and pull the restraint out of the seat-
back.
Driving your car without head
restraints can lead to serious
injury to you and your
passenger in a crash.
Make sure the head restraints
are in place and adjusted
properly before driving.

turn the key clockwise, fold down

To fold down the passenger's side,
