Getting started Adjusting Head restraint tilt Steering wheel Warning! G For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints. Adjust head restraint so that the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an accident or similar situation. Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head restraints. Head restraints are intended to help reduce injuries during an accident. Warning! G Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.

Push or pull on the lower edge of the head restraint cushion. For more information, see "Seats" ( page 92). When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey from the starter switch and lock your vehicle. The electrical steering wheel adjustment feature* can also be operated with the driver's door open. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause an accident and/or serious personal injury. 36
