Safety features of your vehicle
Seat height (for driver’s seat)
(if equipped)
To change the height of the seat, move
the lever upwards or downwards.
• To lower the seat cushion, push down
the lever several times.
• To raise the seat cushion, pull up the
lever several times.
Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps protect the head and neck in
the event of a collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident, the headrest should be adjust-
ed so the middle of the headrest is at the
same height of the center of gravity of an
occupant's head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a cushion that
holds the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.

while the vehicle is in motion.

vehicle.
