Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more importantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
To prevent damage, NEVER hit or
pull on the headrests.
NOTICE
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is securely
applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.
WARNING
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the headrest to the lowest
position. The rear seat headrest
can reduce the visibility of the
rear area.
CAUTION
•
NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
•
Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•
Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
•
Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
•
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed or
reversed
•
Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
