Front Manual Seats
*1
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.

Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints in all seating positions. Head
restraints are most effective for protection
against whiplash and other rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s
head should rest against the center of the
restraint. The tops of the occupant’s ears
should be level with the center height of
the restraint.
For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any objects between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
