WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile

inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle

with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that
the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior
to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be
adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.

Front Head Restraints

To raise the head restraint pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button located on the base of the head restraint and
push downward on the head restraint.

To remove the head restraint, raise it up as far as it can go then push the adjustment
button and release button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint
up. To reinstall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes then
adjust it to the appropriate height.

WARNING!

• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause

serious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow
removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.

• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect

the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.
