RECLINING THE SEATBACK
s01ac06
WARNING
S_103041-MW
To prevent the passenger from sliding
under the seatbelt in the event of a
collision, observe the following pre-
cautions:
. Keep the seatback in the upright
position while the vehicle is in
motion.
. Do not place objects such as
cushions between the passenger
and the seatback.
Otherwise, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up
over the abdomen will increase, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with a multi-
use cargo cover, observe the following
precaution.
. Be careful not to pinch your hand
between the head restraint and the
multi-use cargo cover when you
recline the rear seat.
1. To remove the seatbelt, insert one
edge of the belt into the open gap in
the belt guide, and then slide the rest
of the belt out.

2. Pull the strap and adjust the seatback
to the desired position.

3. Release the strap and move the
seatback back and forth to confirm
that it is securely fixed in place.
HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUST-
MENT
s01ac03
Both the rear window side seats and the
rear center seat are equipped with head
restraints.
WARNING
. 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. Therefore, when the head
restraints are removed, all head
restraints must be reinstalled
properly to protect vehicle occu-
pants.

designed to be installed into the
front seats only. The rear seat head
restraints are designed to be in-
