Front and Rear Seats

Correct Driving Position

The seat, head support, seat belt and airbags work together to maximize your safety. Using these correctly ensures greater protection.

Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly, while being as far away from the front airbag as possible:

  1. Sit upright with both feet on the floor and the seat back in an upright position.
  2. Make sure you can easily reach the pedals and that your arms are slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. Your chest should be at least 10 inches (25 cm) from the center of the airbag cover.
  3. Place the shoulder section of the seat belt mid-way between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the lap section of the belt tightly across your hips, not across your stomach.

Warning
Riding in a moving vehicle with the seat back reclined too much can result in serious injuries in a collision, as you could slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure seat backs are reclined no more than 30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.

Head Supports

The front seats and the rear outboard seats are equipped with integrated head supports that you cannot adjust.

The rear center seat is equipped with an adjustable head support that you can raise and lower:

  • When the seat is occupied by a passenger that is not in a child safety seat, align the center of the corresponding head support with the center of the occupant's head, and ensure the head support is locked into position.
  • When the seat is occupied by a child safety seat equipped with an upper tether strap, leave the head support in the raised position after routing the upper tether straps under it.

To raise the head support, pull it upward to the desired position. To lower it, press and hold the button on the base of the post on the right side of the head support while pushing the head support downward.

Warning
To minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision, ensure that the rear center head support is positioned correctly before driving.

Removing/Installing the Rear Center Head Support

To remove the rear center head support:

  1. Fully raise the head support by pulling it upward.
  2. Press and hold the button located on the base at the right side of the head support.
  3. Insert a short, flat object (such as a small flat-head screwdriver) into the opening in the base of the opposite post and pull the head support upward.

To re-install the rear center head support:

  1. With the front of the head support facing forward, align both posts into the corresponding holes on the seat back.
  2. While holding the button on the base of the post, press downward on the head support until it clicks into place.
  3. Pull upward on the head support to ensure that it is secure.

Warning
Ensure that the head support is correctly installed before seating an occupant. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury or death if a collision occurs.

Seat Heaters

All seats (except the rear center seat) are equipped with seat heaters that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). For details on how to operate the seat heaters, see Climate Controls.

Warning
To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.

Seat Covers

Warning
Do not use seat covers on a seat equipped with a seat-mounted airbag (see Location of Airbags). Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted side airbags if a collision occurs. Also, if the vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection system that is used to determine the status of the passenger front airbag, seat covers may interfere with this system.
