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 in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. See “Precau­tions on seat belt usage” later 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.
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.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other ve­hicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in cer­tain rear end collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the head restraint has been re­moved. If the head restraint was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head re­straint before an occupant uses the seat­ing position. Failure to follow these in­structions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
The illustration shows the seating positions equipped with head restraints. All of the head restraints are adjustable.

SPA1025 LRS0901
Front-seat Active Head Restraints
The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz­ing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occu­pant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as described in this section.
ADJUSTABLE HEADREST (if so equipped)
WARNING
The adjustable headrests supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against in­jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the headrests properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the adjustable headrest stalks or remove the adjustable headrests. Do not use the seat if the adjustable head­rests have been removed. If the headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the adjustable headrests. This may in­crease the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear 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.
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 fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
Head restraints 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 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.
LRS0608
Folding the front passenger’s seatback (if so equipped)
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 fold the seatback forward as far as it will go. Then lift up on the latch located on the upper corner of the seatback to release the back of the seat.
1-10 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
LRS0609 LRS0577
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 pull up on the recline lever and lean the seatback to a proper seating position. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.
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. See “Precautions on supplemental restraint system” later in this section.
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 in an accident or sudden stop.
Folding the 2nd row bench seat
To fold the 2nd row bench seat flat for maximum cargo hauling:
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11
1
Disconnect and secure the center seat belt
and tongues into the retractor base. See “Stowing the center seat belt” later in this section. Then properly stow the outboard seat belts in the seat belt hooks before fold­ing down the rear seats. See “Seat belt hook” in this section for more information. Lower the head restraints to the full “down” position. Pull the strap forward, located in the center of each seat cushion, and fold each seat cushion toward the front of the vehicle.
2
Then pull the straps located on the outside
edge of each seatback to fold the seatbacks forward.

tion, reverse this process. Raise the seat­backs to an upright position. Make sure to hold the seat belts above the seat cushion, then push the seat cush­ion down into place.
LRS0580 LRS0585

2. Lift up and fold each of the red release handles on the seat base toward the front of the vehicle. This willrelease theseat cushion from the seat base.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13
3. Then lift up on the seat cushion to remove it from the seat base. Be sure to store it in a secure place.
To return the rear seatback to a seating position:
1. Push the anchor bars on the bottom of the seat cushions down into the seat base.
2. Rotate the seat cushion toward the rear of the vehicle and push down until they are folded flat to secure each seat cushion to the seat base. Make sure to hold the seat
belts above the seat cushion and prop­erly push the seat cushion down into place.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury in an acci­dent or sudden stop.
