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.

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit

1-2 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10).

. 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.

SSS0133

. To help avoid risk of injury or

death through unintended opera­tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis­tance of others or pets unat­tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in­side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.

. The seatback should not be re-

clined 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 posi-

tions, 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.

Forward and backward (if so equipped):

Moving the switch
ward will slide the seat forward or back­ward to the desired position.

Reclining (if so equipped):

Move the recline switch
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch

forward.

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.1-10).) The
seatback may also be reclined to allow

forward or back-

backward until

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

WARNING

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

restraint/headrest that may be inte­grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

than the recommended alignment,
place the head restraint/headrest
at the highest position.
