Non-adjustable head restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with front row outboard non-adjustable head
restraints.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in
and/or operate the vehicle, until the seatback is placed in its proper
position. The driver should never adjust the seatback while the vehicle
is in motion.
The non-adjustable head restraints
consist of a trimmed foam covering
over the upper structure of the
seatback.
Properly adjust the seatback to an upright driving/riding position, so that
the head restraint is positioned as close as possible to the back of your
head.
Adjusting the front manual seat (if equipped)
WARNING: Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving. The seat could slide too far leaving you unable
to operate vital controls just when you need them.
WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. Sitting in a
reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you
cannot get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking
or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious
internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a
collision, this would concentrate the impact force directly on the
abdominal area, causing serious injury. Wear the lap portion of the belt
snugly and as low as possible.
