Safety features of your vehicle Seats
Seatback pocket
The seatback pocket is provided on the
back of the front passenger’s seatbacks.
WARNING
Seatback pockets
Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the
seatback pockets. In an accident they
could come loose from the pocket and
injure vehicle occupants.
Rear seat adjustment
Headrest
The rear seat is equipped with headrests
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a colli -
sion.
WARNING
僅 For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head
-
rest is at the same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's head. Gen
-
erally, 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 reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom
-
mended.
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed. Severe injury to
an occupant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may provide
protection against severe neck inju
-
ries when properly adjusted.
Adjusting the height up and
down
僅 To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1).
僅 To lower the headrest, push and hold
the release button (2) on the headrest
