WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be
thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a colli-
sion.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are se-
cured by seat belts.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impac t. 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 t he 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 mini-
mize 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 seri-
ous injury or death in the event of a collision.
Front Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger head restraints.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head re-
straint, push the adjustment button, located on the base of the head restraint, and push
downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint recline the backres t of the seat to avoid inter ference with
the roof. Raise the head restraint as far as it can go then push the release button and
adjustment button at the base of each post while pulling the head restraint up. To rein-
stall the head restraint, put the head restraint posts into the holes and push downward.
Then adjust it to the appropriate height.
