the vehicle is not moving.
Move
the lever under the front seat to
unlock it. Slide the seat to where you
want

A
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 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.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some
vehicles and adjustable on others. Slide
an adjustable 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.
On some models, the head restraints tilt
forward and rearward also.

I Front Seatback Latches
(2-DOOR MODELS)
In 2-door models, the front seatback
folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback will move back
and
forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock
in place.
There’s one time the seatback may
not
fold without some help from you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked going down a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a front seatback forward, push
the seatback toward the rear as you
lift
this latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must be down for the
seat
to work properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the seatback isn’t locked, it
4 L 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.
Easy-Entry Seat
(RS 2-DOOR AND 2-24 MODELS)
The right front seat of your vehicle
makes it easy to get
in and out of the
rear seat.
When you push down on the rear latch
and tilt the right front seatback fully
forward, the whole seat will slide
forward.
After someone gets into the rear seat
area, move the right front seatback to
its original position. Then move the
seat rearward until it locks.
If an easyentry right front
b 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.
To get out, again tilt the seatback
fully forward.
Split Fbld-Down Rear Seat

Folding Rear Wagon Seats

seatback can be easily folded down. Be
sure to check your seatback latches now
and then by pushing the seatback back
and forth. If they do not latch properly,
have them checked by your dealer.
Remember to keep safety belts clear of
seat hinges and latches

damaged when you raise and lower the
seatback.

This figure lights up when you turn the
key to
Run or Start when your safety
belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a
chime, too. It’s the reminder to buckle
UP.
n many states and Canadian provinces,
le law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
rhy:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them,
you won’t get hurt even if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so
serious, like being hit by a train, 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 be
badly
hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear.
In most crashes
buckling up does matter.
. . a lot!
