SEATS

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.

ARS1152

● For the most effective protection when
the vehicle isin motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. See “Precau­tions on seat belt usage” later in this
section.

● After adjustment,gently rockin the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.

● Do notleave children unattended inside
the vehicle.They could unknowinglyac­tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri­ous accidents.

● The seatback should not be reclined
any morethan needed forcomfort. 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

● When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

● There are sharp edges under the seat.
To avoid injury, do not contact the bot­tom of the seat or the seat frame:

– if you need to retrieve an object from

under the seat.

– while cleaning the carpet.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD
RESTRAINTS

WARNING

● Always adjust the head restraints prop­erly as specified in this section. Failure
to doso can reducethe effectiveness of
the Active Head Restraint.

● Active Head Restraints are designed to
supplement other safety systems. Al­ways wear seat belts. No system can
prevent all injuries in any accident.

● Do not attach anything to the head re­straint stalks. Doing so could impair
Active Head Restraint function.

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 reducingits backward movement
and helping absorb some of the forces that may
lead to whiplash-type injuries.

ActiveHeadRestraints areeffective for collisions
at low to medium speeds in which it is said that
whiplash injuries occur most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.

Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as
described in this section.
