Reclining Front Seatbacks

A CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can
be dangerous. Even if
you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do
their job when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of you.
In a crash you could
1 go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either.
In a crash the belt could go
up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle
is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.

Lumbar Control Feature
If you have this feature, you can change the shape of the driver and
passenger seats. It works independently of the other seat controls. Use the
power seat control first
to get the proper position. Then proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
The lumbar control switch is located on the outboard side
of each of the
front seats.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the switch forward to increase
support or rearward to decrease seatback support. c3

The control panel is located in the center console.
Move the switch to either
LO or HI to turn on the heating element in the
seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to a
slightly higher temperature.
To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is
in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition
is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
The head restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.

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.
Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light”
in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.

know
if it will be a bad one.
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

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.

Q Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afler an accident if I’m wearing a safety
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your
chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can
unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won ’t have to wear safety
A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in more of them in
belts?
the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with
safety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered
for sale has required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in a
vehicle that has air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being
a good driver doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your control,
such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
