Safety features of your vehicle
Rear seat adjustment
Headrest (if equipped)
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
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height as the center of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most peo-
ple'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 recommended.
• 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 protec-
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

WARNING
• Since stored items may move
while driving, be sure to position
them in the tray so that they do
not make noise or cause a poten-
tial safety hazard when the vehi-
cle is moving.
• Always keep the tray closed while
driving. Do not place many items
in the tray that the tray can not
close securely.
CAUTION
To avoid possible theft, do not leave
valuables in the tray.
The tray can be used to store small
items required by the driver or pas-
sengers.
