WARNING!
• In a collision, you or others in your vehicle
could be injured if seats are not properly
latched to their floor attachments. Always
be sure the seats are fully latched.
• Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in
its lowered position could result in serious
injury or death in a collision. Always make
sure the head restraints are in their upright
positions when the seat is to be occupied.
Tailgate Mode
1. Pull release strap "3", then pull release
strap "4" to rotate the entire seat rearward.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death, never oper-
ate the vehicle with occupants in the third
row seat while in the tailgate mode.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle's
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
• Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints —
Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will
be split in two halves, with the front half being
soft foam and trim, the back half being decora-
tive plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant's head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of
injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to "Occu-
pant Restraints" in "Safety" in your Owner's
Manual for further information.
