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 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 properly. See “Precau­tions on seat belt usage” later in this section.
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.
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
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

HEAD RESTRAINTS (1st row only)
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.

Front-seat Active Head Restraints
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 collisions 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.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-9
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as described in this section.
HEAD RESTRAINTS (2nd row – outboard positions only)
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.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
Head restraints should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them prop­erly if they have been removed for any reason.
If the head restraints are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched posi­tion. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an acci­dent or sudden stop.
Properly secure all cargo to help pre­vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

LRS0341 LRS0342
Folding the front passenger’s seatback flat (if so equipped)
To fold the front passenger’s seatback flat for extra storage length when transporting long items:
1
Slide the seat to the rear most position. Then
lift up on the recline lever, located on the outside of the seat, and fold the seatback forward as far as it will go.
2
Lift up on the latch located on the upper
corner of the seatback to release the back of the seat. This will enable you to fold the front passenger seatback flat over the seat cush­ion.
3. To return the front passenger’s seat to a seating position, lift up on the seatback and push it up to an upright position. Then pull up on the recline lever and lean the seatback to a proper seating position. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.
WARNING
If you fold the front passenger’s seat­back flat forward to carry longer ob­jects, be sure this cargo is properly se­cured and not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Se­cure objects away from the area in which an air bag would inflate. See “Precautions on supplemental restraint system” later in this section.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched posi­tion. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an acci­dent or sudden stop.
