C Head restraint adjustment.
Adjust head restraint to support
the back of the head approximate­
ly at ear level. The head restraint
can also be tilted forward by hand.
Note:
Your car is equipped with power
head restraints, do not try to
operate manually.
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat
while driving. Adjusting the seat
while driving could cause the
driver to lose control of the
vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined.
Sitting in an excessively reclined
position can be dangerous. You
could slide under the seat belt in
a collision. If you slide under it,
the belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could
cause serious or even fatal
injuries. The seat back and seat
belts provide the best restraint
when the wearer is in an upright
position and belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Storing seat/head restraint/steering
wheel positions in memory:
D Memory button.
E Position buttons "1 " and "2".
Two sets of seat/head restraint/
steering wheel positions may be
programmed into memory. After the
seat/head restraint/steering wheel are
positioned, push memory button D,
release, and within 3 seconds push
position button "1 ". A second set of
positions for the same seat/head
restraint/steering wheel can be
programmed into memory by pushing
first button D and then "2".
Recalling seat/head restraint/steering
wheel positions stored in memory:
To recall a seat/head restraint/
steering wheel position, push position
button "1 " or "2" until seat/head
restraint/steering wheel movement
has stopped. For safety reasons, the
seat/head restraint/steering wheel
movement stops after releasing the
position button.
Note:
See page 30 for insctructions to adjust
telescopic steering column.
Caution!
Do not remove head restraints except
when mounting seat covers. For
removal refer to "Practical Hints",
page 92. Whenever restraints have
been removed be sure to reinstall
them before driving.
Important!
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height for
proper vision as well as fore/aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach,
operation, and comfort. The head
restraint should also be adjusted for
proper height.
Both the inside and outside rear view
mirrors should be adjusted for ade­
quate rearward vision. Fasten seat
belts. Infants and small children
should be seated in a properly
secured restraint system that com­
plies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 and Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.1.
All seat, head restraint, and rear view
mirror adjustments as well as fasten­
ing of seat belts should be done
before the vehicle is put into motion.
