This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and also about reclining front seatbacks, seatback
latches and the folding rear seatback.
Manual Front Seat
I
I A CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust
a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push
a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle
is not moving. Move the
lever under the passenger’s front seat
to
unlock it.
Slide
the seat to where you want it. Then release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body to make
sure
the seat is locked into place. Be sure the lever
returns to its original position after moving the seat.

of the seat.
To adjust the seats forward and rearward, lift the lever
under the left front of the seat. Slide the seat to where
you want it. Then release the lever and try
to move the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Front Seatback Latches
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, In a crash you
could 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.
The front seatbacks fold
forward
to let people get
into
the back seat.
To fold a seatback forward, lift the latch located on the
lower backside of the seatback. Then the seatback will
fold forward.
When you return the seatback to its original position,
make sure the seatback is locked. The latch must be
down for the seat to work properly.
I
If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Folding Rear Seatback
The rear seatback in your vehicle folds down to provide
more storage space.
To fold the seatback down:
1. Pull forward on both levers.
2. Fold the seatback down.
To raise the seatback:
1. Pull it up to the locked, upright position.
2. Be sure both latches hold the seatback in place. Have
them fixed if they don’t.
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 air bag system.
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.

Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies.
If a child will be riding
in your vehicle, see the part of
this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt

it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
