Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into
the back seat. Your seatback will move back and forth
freely, unless you come to a sudden stop. Then it will
lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without
some help from you. That’s if your vehicle is parked
going down a fairly steep hill.
To fold a seatback forward
if it does lock in place, push
the seatback toward the rear
as you lift this latch. Then
the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must
be down for the seat to
work properly.
