∙ ALWAYS observe posted speed limits

and never drive too fast for conditions.

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. 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 in-

side 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.

1-2 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

FLEXIBLE SEATING

WARNING

∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in thefold-down position.In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

∙ 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

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 pre-

vent 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.

LRS2754

Folding the rear bench seat

To fold the rear bench seat flat for maximum cargo hauling:

1. Lower or remove the rear head restraints/headrests and store them properly so they are not loose in the vehicle. For additional information, refer to “Head restraints/headrests” in this section.

2. Stow the rear seat belts in the seat belt

hooks foundon the sides of the vehicle.
