Driver’s Side Easy Entry
The easy entry lever on the outboard side of the driver’s
seatback will dump the seatback forward to allow for
easier access to the rear seats. The seat bottom will not
slide forward as the passenger side easy entry will. If
needed, use the driver’s side seat control to slide forward.
To return the seat to the normal position, push the seat-
back up and it will lock into the previously set recline
position. Then if needed, use the seat control to adjust
the forward/rearward position.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury
by restricting head movement in the event of a rear
impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the
top of the head restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
•
All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-
ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints are placed in their proper positions
in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the
event of a crash.
•
Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
NOTE:
Do not reverse the head restraints (making the rear of
the head restraint face forward) in an attempt to gain
additional clearance to the back of your head.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with
Reactive Head Restraints (RHR). In the event of a rear
impact, the RHR will automatically extend forward mini-
mizing the gap between the back of the occupants
head and the RHR.
The RHR will automatically return to their normal posi-
tion following a rear impact. If the RHR do not return to
their normal position, see an authorized dealer
immediately.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjust-
ment button located at the base of the head restraint
and push downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, remove the seat belt from
the seat belt loop. Raise the head restraint as far as it
can go. Then, push the adjustment button and the
release button at the base of each post while pulling
the head restraint up. To reinstall the head restraint,
put the head restraint posts into the holes while push-
ing the adjustment button and release button. Then,
adjust it to the appropriate height.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to recline the front seat before
removing the head restraint to provide enough clear-
ance from the roof.
WARNING!
•
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to
occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow
removed head restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
•
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow
the previously described reinstallation instructions
prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
•
Do not place items over the top of the Reactive
Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or por-
table DVD players. These items may interfere with
the operation of the Reactive Head Restraint in the
event of a collision and could result in serious
injury or death.
Rear Head Restraints
The rear outboard head restraints are non-adjustable
and are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restrict-
ing head movement in the event of a rear impact.
