Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is
off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

WARNING

Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.

Head Restraints

Head Restraints

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 when the centre of the
back of the occupant’s head rests against the
centre of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant’s ears should be level with the
centre 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.

■

Adjusting the Front Head Restraints

Adjusting the Front Head Restraints

In order 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 objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.

•

Install each restraint in its proper location.

3

WARNING

Improperly positioning head restraints
reduces their effectiveness and increases
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are in place and
positioned properly before driving.

Position head in the centre
of the head restraint.
