SEATS
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.
Youcould also slide under thelap 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 backand upright in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the
seat properly. For additional information, see“Precautions on seat belt
usage” (P. 1-12).
• 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 or
make the vehicle move. 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.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
• 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 allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the seats when they
are in the fold-down position. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
without proper restraints are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• 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
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.
Folding the front passenger's
seatback
To fold the front passenger's seatback flat
for extra storage length when transporting
long items:
1. Slide the seat to the rearmost position.
Lift up on the recline lever, located on the
outside edge of the seat, and allow the
seatback to fold forward as far as it will
go.
1-6 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
LRS2042LRS2034
2. Once the seatback is released, it will enable you to fold the front passenger
seatback flat over the seat cushion.
3. To return the front passenger's seat to a
seating position, lift up on the seatback
and push it up to an upright position.
Then pullup onthe reclinelever andlean
the seatback to a proper seating position. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.
HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
• If you fold the front passenger's
seatback flat forward to carry longer
objects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and 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 additional information, see
“Precautions on SRS” (P. 1-32).
• Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passenger's seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers could result in serious injury
or death in an accident or sudden
stop.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding and shif ting. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury
(even if the vehicle has equipped a
partition accessory to divide the
front seats from the cargo area).
CAUTION
Do not apply a load to the back of the
hard surface on the seatback if it is not
fully horizontal. Doing so may cause
deformation/malfunction.
NOTE:
The belt buckle must be in the forwardmost position for the seat to be folded to
avoid premature aging.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly,
as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment af ter someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure tofollow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraints/
headrests. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.
