2. Fold the bottom of the seat cushion to-ward the back of the vehicle until it locks
in place. 3. Repeat this process to raise and secure
the seat cushion on the other side of the
vehicle for maximum storage capacity.
To return the rear bench seat to a seating
position, reverse the process. Make sure to
properly push the seat cushion down
into place.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is being used to
carry cargo, properly secure all cargo
to help prevent it from sliding or
shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
• 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.
Never ride in the rear seat unless the
seat bottom cushions are in place
and latched.
• 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.

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and
snug on the hips
OBas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
OC.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over
your shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear
seating positions’ three-point seat belts
have two modes of operation:
• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The ELR mode allows the seat belt to ex-
tend and retract to allow the driver and
passengers some freedom of movement
in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt
when the vehicle slows down rapidly or
during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt re-
turns to the ELR mode af ter the seat belt
fully retracts. For additional information,
see “Child restraints” (P. 1-26).
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During nor-
mal seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR
mode should not be activated. If it is
activated it may cause uncomfortable
seat belt tension. It can also change the
operation of the front passenger air bag.
For additional information, see “Front
passenger air bag and status light”
(P. 1-80).
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be cer-
tain that the seatbacks are completely
secured in the latched position. If they
are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.

6. Af ter attaching the child restraint, test itbefore you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
path. The child restraint should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm), from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the LATCH attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the re-
straint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the re-
straint in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint or try installing by using the vehicle seat belt (if applicable). Not all
child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 1
through 6.

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS (Crew Cab models)
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury or death to a
child in a sudden stop or collision. Also,
it can change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional infor-
mation, see “Front passenger air bag
and status light” (P. 1-80).
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-23) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-26) for all
Warnings and Cautions before installing a
child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats:
