Seats
Your vehicle’s seats can be adjusted either manually or electrically, depending on how your vehicle is equipped.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
NOTE: When moving the seat, be sure that there are no items in the footwell or behind the seats. Otherwise you could damage the seats.

Head Restraint Height
WARNING! For your protection, drive only with properly posi- tioned head restraints. Adjust head restraint to support the back of the head approximately at ear level. Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head restraints. Head restraints are intended to help re- duce injuries during and accident.

• For a lower position, press release button 1 and push down on the head restraints manually.
Adjust to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator and brake pedal safely. The position should be as far to the rear as possible, consistent with ability to properly operate controls.
