Head Restraints Passenger Folding Seatback {CAUTION: If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away from the area in which an air bag would inflate. For more information, see "Where Are the Air Bags?" and "Loading Your Vehicle," in the Index. You can also fold the front passenger's seatback down to allow for more cargo space or as a temporary table while the vehicle is stopped. To fold the seatback down, do the following: 1. Make sure the seatback is at the most upright position and locked. 2. Push forward on one of the levers located on either side of the back of the passenger's seatback. The head restraints are adjustable. Press the button on the side of the post to adjust the head restraint. Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. 1-6
