Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat — If
Equipped
This feature allows the front passenger seat-
back to fold flat for extended cargo space.
Some fold flat seats also have a hardback
surface that you can use as a work surface
when the seat is folded flat. Pull up on the lever
to fold down the seatback.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the vehicle is
in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent
of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occu-
pant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint,
press the adjustment button, located at the
base of the head restraint, and push downward
on the head restraint.
