Headrest

(Continued)

CAUTION

The vehicle’s front and rear seats

have adjustable headrests.The head-

rests provide comfort for passengers,

but more importantly they are

designed to help protect passengers

from whiplash and other neck and

spinal injuries during an accident,

especially in a rear impact collision.

• Adjust the headrests so the

middle of the headrests is at

the same height as the height

of the top of the eyes (see dia-

gram).

To prevent damage, NEVER hit

or pull on the headrests.

CAUTION

When there is no occupant in

the rear seats, adjust the height

of the headrest to the lowest

position. The rear seat headrest

can reduce the visibility of the

rear area.

WARNING

• NEVER adjust the headrest

position of the driver’s seat

when the vehicle is in motion.

To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death in an accident,

take the following precautions

when adjusting your headrests:

• Adjust the headrest as close

to the passenger’s head as

possible. Do not use a seat

cushion that holds the body

away from the seatback.

• Always properly adjust the

headrests for all passengers

BEFORE starting the vehicle.

• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat

with the headrest removed.

• Make sure the headrest locks

into position after adjusting it.
