SEATS
Information Provided by:
. The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seat­back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
WARNING
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-9).
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un­knowingly activate switches or con­trols. Unattended children could become involved in serious acci­dents.

. When adjusting the seat positions,
be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/ or damages.
FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
. The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-9).) The seatback may also be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) position with the parking brake fully applied.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may pro­vide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the head restraint has been removed. If the head restraint was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

The Active Head Restraint moves forward utilizing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occupant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the
.
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries. Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as described earlier in this section.
