Armrest (if equipped)
To lower the armrest, pull on the top edge
of the armrest.
Loading long objects
Folding down the armrest and opening the
seatback panel affords a loading space for
long objects.
To open the seatback panel, pull the re-
lease tab.
Head restraint adjustment –
Wagon
To avoid the possibility of serious
injury, passengers must never be al-
lowed to sit on the center armrest
while the vehicle is in motion.

Secure long objects properly to
prevent them from shooting for-
ward and causing serious injury
during a sudden stop or sharp
cornering. Tie long objects down
with a rope or something equiva-
lent.
200228
Avoid loading objects longer than
6.6 ft (2 m) and heavier than 55 lbs
(25 kg). Such objects can interfere
with the driver’s proper operation
of the vehicle, possibly causing
an accident and serious injury.
Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the risk
of serious neck injury in the event
that the vehicle is struck from the
rear.
