Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
僅 For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head. Gen-
erally, the centre of gravity of most
people's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom-
mended.
ODL3039089L
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed or reversed as
severe injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection
against neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
僅 Do not adjust the headrest position of
the driver's seat whilst the vehicle is in
motion.

CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the headrest
to the lowest position. The rear seat
headrest can reduce the visibility of the
rear area.

WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in position
after adjusting it to properly protect the
occupants.
CAUTION
If you recline the seatback towards the
front with the headrest and seat cushion
raised, the headrest may come in con-
tact with the sun visor or other parts of
the vehicle.
