GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 33
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
NOTE:
The front passenger seat needs to slide back
to a pre-set position for the fore-aft adjuster
to be properly locked. For example, if the
front passenger 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
about 2/3 of the way rearward to hit the lock
position. If the adjuster is not returned to this
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 posi-
tion.
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.
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 auto-
matically extend forward minimizing the gap
between the back of the occupants head and
the RHR.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate 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.
