Section 1 Seats and Restraint System

1-1

Head Restraints

The front seats have adjustable head restraints in the

outboard seating positions.

{ CAUTION:

With head restraints that are not installed and

adjusted properly, there is a greater chance that

occupants will suffer a neck/spinal injury in a

crash. Do not drive until the head restraints for all

occupants are installed and adjusted properly.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint

is at the same height as the top of the occupant’s head.

This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a

crash.

1-2

Pull the head restraint up to raise it. To lower the head

restraint, press the button, located on the top of the

seatback, and push the restraint down.

Push down on the head restraint after the button is

released to make sure that it is locked in place.

The head restraints are not designed to be removed.

The rear seat has head rests that can be adjusted

up and down.

1-3

Front Seats

Power Seats

On a vehicle with power seats, the controls used to

operate them are located on the outboard side of the

seats. To adjust the seat, do any of the following:

• Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding the

control forward or rearward.

• Raise or lower the front part of the seat cushion by

moving the front of the control up or down.

• Raise or lower the rear part of the seat cushion by

moving the rear of the control up or down.

A vehicle with a memory function allows seat settings to

Keep in mind that as the seating position changes, as it

may during long trips, so should the position of the

lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

• To recline the seatback, press the control toward

the rear of the vehicle.

• To raise the seatback, press the control toward the

front of the vehicle.

{ CAUTION:

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is

in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle

up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you

are reclined like this.

The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a crash,

you could go into it, receiving neck or other

injuries.

CAUTION: (Continued)

1-8

CAUTION: (Continued)

The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a crash the

belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt

forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.

This could cause serious internal injuries.

For proper protection when the vehicle is in

motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well

back in the seat and wear your safety belt

properly.

Do not have a seatback reclined if the vehicle is

moving.

1-9

button with the heated seat symbol.

A heated seat symbol will be shown in the RSA display to

indicate that the feature is on. Press the button to cycle

through the temperature settings of high, medium, and

low, and to turn it off. Indicator bars next to the symbol

will designate the level of heat selected: three for high,

two for medium, and one for low.

The heated seats are off when the ignition is off.
