GETTING STARTED
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an attempt
to gain additional clearance to the back of the head.
• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause seri-
ous injury or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow removed
head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Rear Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with two outboard head restraints and one center head re-
straint for its rear passengers. The rear head restraints can be raised or lowered. When
the center seat is being occupied, the head restraint should be in the raised position.
When there are no occupants in the center seat, the head restraint can be lowered for
maximum visibility for the driver.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head re-
straint, push the adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go then push the release button and
adjustment button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up. To rein-
stall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and push downward.
Then adjust it to the appropriate height.
NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 degrees to the incorrect position in an attempt
to gain additional clearance to the back of the head.
