Rear Seat

WARNING

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:

Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.

Do not allow anyone to sit on the
center console between the rear seats:

Allowing someone to sit on the rear
center console between the rear seats
is dangerous. The rear center console
is not designed for occupant seating.
During a collision, occupants not
wearing a seat belt could be thrown
from the vehicle and seriously injured
or even killed.

Non-Adjustable Head
Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with non-
adjustable head restraints on the driver's
and front passenger's seatbacks. The non-
adjustable head restraints consist of a
trimmed foam covering over the upper
structure of the seatbacks and are intended
to help protect you and the front
passenger from neck injury. Adjust the
seatbacks to their upright, on-road
positions so that the head restraint is
positioned as close as possible to the back
of your head.

WARNING

Make sure the seatbacks are properly
adjusted to their upright, on-road
positions before the vehicle is driven:

Driving with the seatbacks not
adjusted properly is dangerous. With
no support behind your head, your
neck could be seriously injured in a
collision.
