(protection) System of the vehicle. They need to be used
properly for safe operation of the vehicle.

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.

40-20-40 Front Seat
As the name implies, the seat is divided into three
segments. The outboard seat portions are each 40% of the
total width of the seat. The back of the center portion
(20%) easily folds down to provide an armrest/center
storage compartment (if equipped).Each outboard seat is independently adjustable forward
or rearward and is equipped with a back recliner. The
manual forward or rearward seat adjustment handle is
found at the front edge of each seat cushion. Pull up on
the handle and slide the seat to get the most comfortable
position.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could
cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be
properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust
any seat only while the vehicle is parked.

longer resting against your chest. If you ride in this
position, the shoulder harness will no longer be
restraining you. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt and receive serious or fatal injuries.
