Padded head restraints for the seats can
reduce the risk of a whiplash injury if your
vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illus-
trated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head
restraint, seatback to the upright position, and
the head restraint to the proper position. Sit
back against the seatback with your head
close to the head restraint.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to ride in the center
of rear seat or in the luggage compartment
vehicle is in motion. People who are not
properly seated and restrained can be
seriously injured or killed in an accident.
To avoid reducing rearward vision, do not
load cargo or luggage higher than the top
of the seatback.
Firmly secure cargo and luggage. Unse-
cured cargo and luggage can move during
braking or in an accident, causing serious
injury or death.
NOTE
Do not push the lever toward the rear of the
vehicle. Doing so could damage the lever
and make it impossible to operate the seat-
back.
Head restraints
WARNING
In order to minimize the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the head
restraint must be adjusted to the proper
position before vehicle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacks
must be adjusted to the upright position
before adjusting the head restraints. The
driver should never adjust the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.
Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when
the seat is occupied.
Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
