Head Restraint
Riding in Area with Rear Seat Bottom
Removed:
Riding in the area where a rear seat
bottom has been removed is
dangerous. Sudden braking or a
collision could cause serious injury.
Do not sit or lie in the area where a
rear seat bottom has been removed
while the vehicle is moving. Never
ride in a vehicle where you can’t sit in
the seat and wear the seat belt.
WARNING
•
Putting your fingers between the
seat bottom and floor is dangerous.
You could injure your fingers.
When replacing the seat bottom, be
careful not to catch your fingers
between the seat bottom and floor.
•
After replacing the seat bottom to
its original position, make sure all
seat belt buckles are on top of the
seat bottom and the seat belts are
not twisted. Twisting or placing the
seat belts under the seat bottom
could damage the seat belts.
Head Restraints Adjustment:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
Always drive with the head restraints
inserted when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted.
