Head Restraints; Split Folding Rear Seat; Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is- Page 17

CAUTION:

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.

The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it
won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be 
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.

The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.

For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit 
well back in the seat and wear your safety 
belt properly.

Head Restraints

Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

Split Folding Rear Seat

This feature enables you
to access your trunk by
pulling forward on the
seat tab, located on the
front of the rear seat, 
to fold the seat 
cushion down.

This feature allows your direct access to the trunk. 
To return the seat to its original position, push it back 
up and make sure it latches.
