SEATING

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to

reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.

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.

Adjustable head restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with front row outboard head restraints that are

vertically adjustable.

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.

The adjustable head restraints

consist of:

• a trimmed energy absorbing foam

and structure (1),

• two steel stems (2),

• a guide sleeve adjust/release

button (3),

• and a guide sleeve unlock/remove

button (4).

WARNING: Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

conditions, must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat

heater may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used

for long periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that

insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may

cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins,

needles, or other pointed objects because this may damage the heating

element which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated

seat may cause serious personal injury.

• Place heavy objects on the seat

• Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the

seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
