Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet

An unrestrained pet will be
thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a colli-
sion

Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are se-
cured by seat belts

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!
•
All occupants, including the driver, should not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash
.
•
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 seri-
ous injury or death in the event of a collision
.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with Reactive Head Restraints
.
In the
event of a rear impact, the Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend forward
minimizing the gap between the back of the occupant's head and the Reactive Head Re-
straint
