In the event of deployment of an Active Head Re-  
straint, refer to “Occupant Restraints/Resetting Active  
Head Restraints (AHR)” in “Things to Know Before  
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.  
WARNING! (Continued)  
Do not place items over the top of the Active Head  
Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable  
DVD players. These items may interfere with the  
operation of the Active Head Restraint in the event  
of an accident and could result in serious injury or  
death.  
WARNING!  
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints removed  
or improperly adjusted could cause serious injury  
or death in the event of a collision. The head  
restraints should always be checked prior to oper-  
ating the vehicle and never adjusted while the  
vehicle is in motion. Always adjust the head  
restraints when the vehicle is in PARK.  
Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they  
are struck by an object such as a hand, foot or loose  
cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Ac-  
tive Head Restraint ensure that all cargo is se-  
cured, as loose cargo could contact the Active Head  
Restraint during sudden stops. Failure to follow  
this warning could cause personal injury if the  
Active Head Restraint is deployed.

WARNING!  
CAUTION!  
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin  
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,  
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex-  
haustion or other physical condition must exercise  
care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns  
even at low temperatures, especially if used for  
long periods of time.  
Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the  
heating element and/or degrade the material of the  
seat.  
Easy Access Seating Second Row — If Equipped  
The second row seats can be tilted forward for easy  
access to the third row seat or rear cargo area.  
Do not place anything on the seat that insulates  
against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This  
may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a  
seat that has been overheated could cause serious  
burns due to the increased surface temperature of  
the seat.  
To tilt the seat, pull forward on the release lever located  
on the base of the seat and tilt the seat fully forward.  
To return the seat to its upright position, push rearward  
on the seatback until it latches. Always ensure that it is  
fully latched.
