serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.
Note:Because the rear seat is designed
as a 4+1 seat, the middle seat is of
limited use. It is recommended that this
seat only be used by a person who can
use the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seat Belt Systems"
in "Safety" for further information.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.

Warning!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle.
The force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could be
badly injured or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the
child’s size.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn size
to the child almost large enough for an
adult safety belt. Always check the child
seat Owner’s Manual to make sure you
have the correct seat for your child.
Carefully read and follow all the
instructions and warnings in the child
restraint Owner’s Manual and on all the
labels attached to the child restraint.
Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets all applicable Safety
Standards. You should also make sure
that you can install it in the vehicle where
you will use it.Note:

SAFETY

Infant And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children
ride rear-facing in the vehicle until they
are two years old or until they reach
either the height or weight limit of their
rear-facing child restraint. Two types of
child restraints can be used rear-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.
The infant carrier is only used rear-facing
in the vehicle. It is recommended for
children from birth until they reach the
weight or height limit of the infant carrier.
Convertible child seats can be used either
rear-facing or forward-facing in the
vehicle. Convertible child seats often
have a higher weight limit in the
rear-facing direction than infant carriers
do, so they can be used rear-facing by
children who have outgrown their infant
carrier but are still less than at least two
years old. Children should remain
rear-facing until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their
convertible child seat.Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious injury
to a child 12 years or younger, including a
child in a rear-facing child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have
outgrown their rear-facing convertible
child seat can ride forward-facing in the
vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and
convertible child seats used in the
forward-facing direction are for children
who are over two years old or who have
outgrown the rear-facing weight or height
limit of their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a harness
for as long as possible, up to the highest
weight or height allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-positioning
booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts
fit properly. If the child cannot sit with
knees bent over the vehicle’s seat
cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a
belt-positioning booster seat. The child
and belt-positioning booster seat are
held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
Warning!
Improper installation can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could come
loose in a collision. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the
vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat
forward or rearward because it can loosen
the child restraint attachments. Remove the
child restraint before adjusting the vehicle
seat position. When the vehicle seat has
been adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use,
secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or
LATCH anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In
a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the
occupants or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for
towing a disabled vehicle using a
commercial towing service.
Caution!
The vehicle should be transported with all
four wheels OFF the ground on the flatbed
of a roadside assistance vehicle. Avoid
towing with only the front (or rear) wheels
lifted. When towing with only the front (or
rear) wheels lifted, in addition to damaging
the body, it could damage the transmission.
Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remain released, while being
towed.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
The operators of the assistance vehicle
must be informed of your vehicle's
minimum required height from the
ground, in order to avoid contact
between the ends of the bumpers and the
equipment of the breakdown truck.
The following image illustrates the front
and rear attachment corners of the
vehicle, which are to be taken into
consideration when loading your vehicle
onto the assistance vehicle.
Loading Angles
A — Front Loading
Angle 12.045°
B

— Rear Loading
Angle 11.830°
Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Models
It is recommended to tow the vehicle
with all four wheels OFF the ground on
the flatbed of a roadside assistance
vehicle.
Caution!
Do not use sling type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flat bed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while being
towed.
If an assistance vehicle with a flatbed is
not available, the vehicle must be towed
with the rear wheels lifted from the
ground using a trailer or special
equipment allowing lifting of the rear
wheels.
