WARNING

Improper use of electrical seat controls can cause serious personal injuries.

ꢀ

The front seats in your vehicle can be electrically adjusted even when the vehicle key has

been removed from the ignition or, on a vehicle with Keyless Access, even if there is no key

in the vehicle.

ꢀ

Never leave children and persons who need help in the vehicle alone because the

unsupervised use of the electric seat adjustments can result in serious personal injury.

Always make sure that no one is in the way while the front seats are being adjusted, or

ꢀ

while calling up the stored memory settings for the front seats. In an emergency, stop

automatic seat adjustment by pressing a seat adjustment switch.

NOTICE

To help prevent damage to electrical parts in the seat, do not kneel on the front seats or apply

concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.

If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment controls may not work.

Starting the engine stops seat adjustment.

When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into contact with any switches that

could change the seat adjustment.

ꢀPlease first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

All seats are equipped with head restraints. The rear center head restraint is designed only for the

center seat on the rear bench. Therefore, only install the center head restraint in the center position.

There are notches in the head restraint guide rods so that the head restraint can lock into place. Only

properly installed head restraints can lock into place at the adjustment range notches. In order to

prevent inadvertent removal of the head restraints after installation, there are stops at the top and

bottom of the adjustment range.

⇒ꢀfig. 61 (1) is pressed ⇒ꢀ

The head restraint must lock securely in the position selected.

Proper head restraint adjustment

Adjust head restraints so that the upper edge of the head restraint is at least at eye level or higher.

Position the back of the head as close as possible to the head restraint.

Adjusting the head restraint for short people

Push the head restraint down as far as it will go, even if this means the person's head is still below the

top edge of the head restraint. A small gap may remain between the head restraint and the backrest

when the head restraint is all the way down.

Adjusting the head restraint for tall people

Pull the head restraint up as far as it will go.

WARNING

Driving without head restraints or with improperly adjusted head restraints increases the risk

of serious injuries in a collision.

ꢀ

Always drive with the head restraints in place and properly adjusted to help minimize the

risk of neck injury in crash.

Every person in the vehicle must have a properly adjusted head restraint to minimize the

ꢀ

risk of neck injury in a crash. Each head restraint must be adjusted according to the

occupants' size so that the upper edge is even with the top of the person's head, but no lower

than eye level. Always sit so that the back of your head is as close as possible to the head

restraint.

ꢀ

Never adjust head restraint while driving.
