WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped

behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.

REAR SEATS

Rear seat head restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with rear seat outboard head restraints that
look differently than the front head restraints, but function similarly.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in

and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint
while the vehicle is in motion.

For details about how to raise, lower and remove/reinstall the rear head
restraints, refer to Adjustable head restraints at the beginning of this
chapter.

The center rear head restraint is fixed and non-adjustable. The head
restraint consist of a trimmed foam covering over the upper structure of
the seatback.

Folding down the 60/40 rear seats

Note: The head restraints should be placed in the full down position
before folding the seatback down.

Note: Ensure that no objects such as books, purses, or briefcases are on
the floor in front of, on or under the second row seat cushion before
actuating the release lever to cycle the seats to the load-floor position.

WARNING: To prevent possible damage to the seat or safety
belts, ensure that the safety belts are not buckled when moving

the seat to the load floor position.
