ment (driver's seat)
1) When the lever is pushed down, the seat
is lowered.
2) When the lever is pulled up, the seat

up and down.
& Head restraint adjustment (if
equipped)
To raise:
Pull the head restraint up.
To lower:
Push the head restraint down while
pressing the release button on the top of
the seatback.
The head restraint should be adjusted so
that the center of the head restraint is
closest to the top of the occupant's ears.
WARNING
Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the risk
of serious neck injury in the event
that the vehicle is struck from the
rear.
& Active head restraint (if
equipped)
The front seats of your vehicle are
equipped with active head restraints. They
automatically tilt forward slightly in the
event the vehicle is struck from the rear,
decreasing the amount of rearward head
movement and thus reducing the risk of
whiplash. For maximum effectiveness, the
head restraint should be adjusted so that
the center of the head restraint is closest
to the top of the occupant's ears.
