Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head
restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant's head
should rest against the center of the restraint. The
tops of the occupant's ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
Front and second-row head restraints
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up
as far as it will go. Then press the release button(s),
and pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back
in place, then adjust the head restraint to an
appropriate height while pressing the release
button(s). Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is
locked in position.
Folding down the third-row head restraints
To fold down: Pull the strap.
To return to upright position: Pull up the head and
push rearward until it latches.
WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.

Position head in the
center of the head
restraint.
Strap
For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
Floor Mats
Position the front and second-row seat floor mats
properly, and anchor them. If they are not properly
positioned, the floor mats can interfere with the front
seat functions.
Do not put additional floor mats on top of the
anchored mats.
