You

them, and also about reclining front seatbacks, seatback
latches and the folding rear seatback.
Manual Front Seat

Sport Seat (Option)
RIDE CONTROL
SPORT
Different parts of this control move different parts of
your seat. If you move the whole control, the whole seat
will move. The back of the control will move the back
of the seat, and the front of the control will move the
front
of the seat.
If you have the Sport Seat, you must move the switch
next to the lumbar controls to
DR (driver) or PS
(passenger) before adjusting your seat.
Move the control forward or back to move the seat
forward or back. Move the control toward the center of
the vehicle to raise the seat and away from the center of
the vehicle to lower
it.
These switches let you change the shape of your seat.
There are three lumbar supports for the upper, middle
and lower back. There’s also a side bolster that adjusts
the sides of the seat around you to give you more lateral
support.
First move the selector switch
to DR (driver) or PS
(passenger). Then move the shaping switches until your
seat is comfortable. For lumbar support, move each
switch left to inflate or right to deflate.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly.
It also tells you some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint,
or
“air bag” system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the
Index.) A few crashes
are mild, and some crashes
can be so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes
are in between. In many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or
killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts
are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a
crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.

Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on

doesn’t stop. The

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and
your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such
good sense.
