Armrest (if equipped)

The armrest is located in the center of
the rear seat. Pull the armrest down from
the seatback.

Headrest

The rear seat(s) is equipped with head-
rests in all the seating positions for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in

case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo-
ple's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For this
reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with

the headrests removed as severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection
against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
