Adusting the Seats

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 and well back in the seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger's seat should be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible.

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

Position the front seat floor mats properly, and anchor them. If they are not properly positioned, the floor mats can interfere with the front seat functions.

Do not put additional floor mats on top of the anchored mats.

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.

The center of the back of the occupant's head should rest 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.

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 a 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.

For the head restraint system to work properly:

• Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
