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, adjust the head restraint to the
proper position. For the driver and front pas-
senger, adjust the seatbacks to the upright
position before adjusting the head restraints.
Sit back against the seatback with your head
close to the head restraint.
WARNING
 Do not allow anyone to ride in the luggage
compartment while the vehicle is in
motion. People who are not properly
seated and restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in an accident.
 After returning the rear seatbacks to their
upright positions, make sure that the seat-
backs lock in place and are firmly secured.
Also check to be sure that the rear seat
belts are in front of the seatbacks, and not
caught behind the seatbacks.
CAUTION
 In the cargo area, do not load the luggage
higher than the top of the seats and make
sure that the luggage is firmly secured.
Restricted rear vision or flying objects enter-
ing the passenger compartment during sud-
den braking can result in a serious accident
and injury.
NOTE
 If the seatbacks are returned using too much
force, this may cause the center seat belt to
lock up. If the seat belt locks up, pull the seat
belt once with force and let it retract all the
way.
