in and
out of the rear seat.
0 Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and
the whole seat will slide forward.
Move the seatback to its original position after
someone gets
into the rear seat area. Then move the
seat rearward until
it locks.
A CAUTION:
If an easy entry right front seat isn’t locked, it
can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person
sitting there could be injured. After you’ve used
it, be sure to push rearward on an easy entry seat
to be sure it
is locked.
Tilt the seatback completely forward again to get out.
Rear Seats
Your vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold
the seatbacks down for more cargo space.
The rear seat release handles are in the upper center of
the rear of the seatbacks. Push back on the seatbacks as
you pull up on the handles.
To raise the seatbacks, just lift up the seatbacks and push
until they lock in the upright position.
Push and pull
on the seatbacks to check that the latches
have locked in
the upright position. If they haven’t, have

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 Intlatable Restraint (SIR),
x air bag system.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear
a safety belt properly. If
you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing
a safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse.
You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash, you might
not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that
your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.
A CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that
is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using
a
safety belt properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CAUTION: (Continued)
in rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety belt
properly
-- whether or not there’s an air bag for
that person.
A CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink of an eye.
If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an
air
bag, and sit as far back as you can while still
maintaining control
of your vehicle. There is
an air bag readiness
light on
the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR
BAG
AIR BAG.
The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index
for more information.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should
use it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When
you go
in
to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will be long enough for you. The extender will
be just for
you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it. and use it
only for
the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, just attach it
to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder Iight
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly.
Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from
doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn
or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is
torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

of the transmitter.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does
not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording
and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.

vehicle and simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least
five seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
synchronization.

highway situations. Your front axle is
not engaged in
two-wheel drive.

drive
your vehicle. Use 4HI when you need extra
traction, such as on snowy

to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if you were
driving off-road in sand, mud or deep snow and
climbing or descending steep hills.
