Safety features of your vehicle
Rear seat
Headrest
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps to
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.
WARNING
For proper operation of the
occupant classification system:
• Do not place any items cumu-
latively weighing over 2.2 lbs
(1 kg) in the seatback pocket
or on the seat.
• Do not hang onto the front
passenger seat.
OPA039053
WARNING
• Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed
as severe injury to an occu-
pant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest
height while the vehicle is in
motion.
