Vehicles Without Rear Seating Installed

All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a
seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint
for the safety of the passenger. If the rear seat has been
removed, do not ride in that area.

This vehicle has been designed to maximize total perfor-
mance. In doing so, the deletion of the rear seat may affect
the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics.
As a result, the interior (driver cockpit) Noise, Vibration,
and Harshness (NVH) will be louder overall.

WARNING!

• If the rear seat has been removed, do not ride in that

area. In a collision, people riding in this area are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or

outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
this area are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.

(Continued)

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING! (Continued)

• Only ride in available seating positions equipped

with seat belt systems. Always properly wear your
seat belt. Failure to do so could result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and

using a seat belt properly. Occupants, including the
driver, should always wear their seat belts whether
or not an air bag is also provided at their seating
positions to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.

• All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-

ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the head
restraints are not in place of 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.

Passenger Seat Easy Entry

On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever located on
the side of the seatback in order to dump the seatback and
slide the seat forward. You can also temporarily remove the
seat belt from the guide loop on the seat and allow the seat
belt to retract out of the way. This allows for easier access
to the rear seat. To return the seat to a normal seating
position, first return the seatback to its original recline
location and then slide the entire seat back to the pre-set
lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
• The front passenger seat needs to slide back to the

“remembered” pre-set position for the fore-aft adjuster
to be properly locked. For example, if the front passen-
ger has the seat adjusted full rear and exits the vehicle to
let a rear passenger enter using the easy entry handle,
the fore-aft adjuster needs to slide back to the full rear
position. If the adjuster is not returned to the original
pre-set position, the seat will appear to be loose.

• Also, if the front passenger uses the easy entry handle

and then lifts up the recliner handle without moving the
seat back to its original pre-set position, the recliner will
not lock until it is moved to the full recline 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 RHRs will automatically extend forward mini-
mizing the gap between the back of the occupants head
and the RHR.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The RHRs will automatically return to their normal posi-
tion following a rear impact. If the RHRs do not return to
their normal position, see your authorized dealer immedi-
ately.

To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjustment
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 pushing 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 clearance
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 re-
moved 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
re-installation instructions above prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat.
