Rear seat adjustment
Headrest (if equipped)

The rear seat is equipped with headrests for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps to protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.

-
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted 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.
-
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed. Severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.
Adjusting the height up and down (if equipped)

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1). To lower the headrest, push and hold the release button (2) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position (3).

When there is no occupant in the rear seats, adjust the height of the headrest to the lowest position. The rear seat headrest can reduce the visibility of the rear area.
Removal and installation (if equipped)

To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) while pulling upward (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles (A) into the holes while pressing the release button (1). Then adjust it to the appropriate height.

Make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it to properly protect the occupants.
Armrest

To use the armrest, pull it forward from the seatback.
Folding the rear seat (if equipped)
The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could not otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
To fold down the rear seatback (4 Door):
-
Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the front seat forward.
-
Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.
-
Pull out the seatback locking knob(1) in the trunk, then fold the seat toward the front of the vehicle.
-
To use the rear seat, lift and push the seatback backward. Push the seat back firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure the seatback is locked in place.
-
Return the rear seat belt to the proper position.

WARNINGAfter folding the rear seat, unless the driver’s position is properly set according to the driver’s physical figure, do not fold the rear seat. It may increase body injuries in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNINGUprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. If the seatback is returned without holding it, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in injury caused by being struck by the seatback.
WARNINGWhen you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat belt webbing or buckle. Do not allow the seat belt webbing or buckle to get caught or pinched in the rear seat. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. Otherwise, in an accident or sudden stop, the seat could fold down and allow cargo enter the passenger compartment, which could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTIONDamaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert the buckle between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the buckle from being damaged by the rear seatback.
CAUTIONRear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks to the upright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position.
WARNINGCargo
Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNINGCargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the automatic transmission is in P (Park) , and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever is inadvertently moved to another position.
