SEATING

Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the

event of a collision.

Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of
injury in a collision or sudden stop.

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.

Adjustable head restraints

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.

Your vehicle’s seats are equipped with head restraints which are
vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints is to help limit
head motion in the event of a rear collision. To properly adjust your head
restraints, lift the head restraint so that it is located directly behind your
head or as close to that position as possible. Refer to the following to
raise and lower the head restraints.
