SEATING

Adjustable head restraints (if equipped)
Your vehicle's seats may be equipped with head restraints which are
vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints is to help limit
head motion in the event of a rear collision. To properly adjust your head
restraints, lift the head restraint so that it is located directly behind your
head or as close to that position as possible. Refer to the following to
raise and lower the head restraints.
Push or pull the head restraint to
raise it to the desired height. To
lower, push the button in the collar
around the stem.
Adjusting the front manual seat
Never adjust the driver's seat or seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of
injuring people in a collision or sudden stop.
Do not place any objects behind the seat which could prevent
the engagement of the seat lock.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.
