WHEN READING THE MANUAL
Information Provided by:
For descriptions specified for 4-wheel drive models, a
mark is placed at the begin-
ning of the applicable sections/items.
As with other vehicles with features for off-road use, failure to operate 4-wheel drive models correctly may result in loss of control or a collision. For additional infor­mation, refer to “Driving safety precau­tions” in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIV­ING

For additional information, refer to “On­pavement and off-road driving precautions”, “Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving safety precau­tions” in the “Starting and driving” sec­tion of this manual.

SEATS
Information Provided by:
WARNING
Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
ARS1152
For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, refer to “Pre­cautions on seat belt usage” in this section.
After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac­tivate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in seri­ous accidents.
To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assis­tance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera­ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of con­trol of the vehicle.
The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the pas­senger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

JUMP SEAT (if so equipped)
WARNING
Do not use a child restraint in the driv­er’s side jump seat. This seating posi­tion is not suitable for child restraint installation. A child restraint can be in­stalled in the passenger’s side jump seat when the seat extension is un­folded from the seat base.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or feet
to get caught or pinched in the seat.
Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been re­moved for any reason.
If the head restraints/headrests are re­moved for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
When returning the seatbacks to the
Information Provided by:
upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched posi­tion. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an acci­dent or sudden stop.
Properly secure all cargo to help pre­vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
LRS2475 LRS2476
Folding the rear bench seat up (if so equipped)
To fold the rear bench seat up:
1. Lift up on the lever, located on the side of the seat, while lifting the front of the seat cush­ion up.

WARNING
When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo, properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat­backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly. Never ride in the rear seat unless the seat bottom cushions are in place and latched.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched posi­tion. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an acci­dent or sudden stop.
