The driver side door mirror has outer and inner
segments.
The outer segment is slightly curved to provide
a wider angle view than a standard flat mirror.
This wider view may help you check areas that
are not visible using a standard door mirror.

Adjusting the Seats

Adjusting the Seat Positions

Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible
while allowing you to maintain full control of
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to
adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far
back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.

■

Adjusting the front power seat(s)

Adjusting the Seats

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.

Always make seat adjustments before driving.

WARNING

Sitting too close to a front airbag can result
in serious injury or death if the front
airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the front
airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.

Move back.

Allow sufficient
space.

Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space
between your chest and the airbag cover in
the center of the steering wheel.

The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright
position.

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

■

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.

Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag
operation.

If you cannot get far enough away from the steering
wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive
equipment may help.

WARNING

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in
serious injury or death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,
and sit well back in the seat.

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints
in all seating positions.

Head restraints are most effective for
protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries when the center of the
back of the occupant’s head rests against the
center of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant’s ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.

■

To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down
while pressing the release button.

the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are in place and
positioned properly before driving.

To lower the head restraint:
Push it down while pressing the release
button.

Head restraints can be removed for cleaning or repair.

To remove the head restraint:
Pull the restraint up as far as it will go. Then push the release button, and pull the
restraint up and out.

To reinstall the head restraint:
Insert the legs back in place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate height
while pressing the release button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked
in position.

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is
off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have
active head restraints. In a rear impact, an
occupant properly secured by a seat belt will
be pushed against the seat-back and the head
restraint will move forward. This reduces the
distance between the restraint and the
occupant’s head, which helps reduce the
likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck
and upper spine.

Active Head Restraints

Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

WARNING

Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.

Active Head Restraints

In order for the active head restraints to operate
properly:

•

Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.

•

Do not place any objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.

•

Install each restraint in its proper location.

After a collision, the activated restraint should return
to its normal position. If the restraint does not return
to its normal position, or in the event of a severe
collision, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.

Folding Down the Rear Seats

Folding Down the Rear Seats

Remove any items from the rear seat cushion before
you fold down the rear seat.

When you fold down one side of the rear seats and
use the non-recessed part of the cargo area, make
sure to secure the cargo. Loose items can fly forward
and cause injury if you have to brake hard.

Make sure all items in the cargo area or items
extending to the rear seats are properly
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have
to brake hard.

Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.
