Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
WARNING
To prevent the passenger from sliding under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, always put the seatback
in the upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. Also, do not
place objects such as cushions
between the passenger and the
seatback. If you do so, 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.
& Head restraint adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull it up.
To lower it, push the head restraint down
while pressing the release button on the
top of the seatback.
. To remove the head restraint
While pressing the release button, pull out
the head restraint.
. To install the head restraint
Install the head restraint into the holes that
are located on the top of seatback until it
locks.
The head restraint should be adjusted so
that the center of the head restraint is
closest to the top of the occupant’s ears.
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 you remove
the head restraints, you must reinstall all of the head restraints to
protect vehicle occupants.

& Active head restraint
The front seats of your vehicle are
equipped with active head restraints. They
automatically tilt forward slightly in the
event the vehicle is struck from the rear,
decreasing the amount of rearward head
movement and thus reducing the risk of
whiplash. For maximum effectiveness, the
head restraint should be adjusted so that
the center of the head restraint is closest
to the top of the occupant’s ears.
CAUTION
. Each active head restraint is
effective only when its height is
properly adjusted and driver/passenger sits in the correct position on the seat.
