Head Restraints
The vehicle's front seats have adjustable
head restraints in the outboard seating
positions.

installed and adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that occupants will suffer
a neck/spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and adjusted
properly.

Seat Adjustment
{Warning
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a driver seat while the
vehicle is moving. Adjust the driver seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.
To adjust the seat:1. Pull the handle at the front of the seat.
2. Slide the seat to the desired position and release the handle.
3. Try to move the seat back and forth to be sure the seat is locked in place.
Power Seat Adjustment
{Warning
The power seats will work with the
ignition off. Children could operate the
power seats and be injured. Never leave
children alone in the vehicle.
To adjust a power driver seat, if equipped:
.Move the seat forward or rearward by
sliding the control forward or rearward.
.Raise or lower the entire seat by moving
the rear of the control up or down.
.If equipped, raise or lower the front part
of the seat cushion by moving the front
of the control up or down. To adjust the seatback, see
Reclining
Seatbacks 023.
Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not 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 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
the seat belt properly.

24 Seats and Restraints
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.
{Warning
You can lose control of the vehicle if you
try to adjust a driver seat while the
vehicle is moving. Adjust the driver seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.
{Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it could
move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person
sitting there. Always push and pull on
the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.
To recline the seatback:1. Lift the lever.
2. Move the seatback to the desired position, and then release the lever to
lock the seatback in place.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull up onthe shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the button on the
buckle. The belt should return to its stowed
position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat
belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may lock and cannot
be pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to unlock the
webbing, and then release it. If the webbing
is still locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.
Before a door is closed, be sure the seat belt
is out of the way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage can occur to
both the seat belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of
the belt is on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper shoulder belt
height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in a crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts Properly 028.
Push up on the release button and move
the height adjuster to the desired position.
After the adjuster is set to the desired
position, try to move it down without
pushing the release button to make sure it
has locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
the front outboard occupants. Although the
seat belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the seat belt assembly. They can
help tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner activation are

per the child restraint manufacturer
instructions. SeeSeat Adjustment 023 or
Power Seat Adjustment 023.
2. For rear outboard seating positions, if the head restraint interferes with the
proper installation of the child restraint,
the head restraint may be removed. See
“Head Restraint/Headrest Removal and
Reinstallation” at the end of this section.

anchors. See Rear Seats025.
3.2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3.3. Route the top tether according to your child restraint instructions and
the following instructions:

not have a head restraint and you
are using a single tether, route the
tether over the seatback.
If the position you are using has a
fixed head restraint and you are
using a single tether, route the
tether around the inboard or
outboard side of the head restraint.
If the position you are using does
not have a head restraint and you
are using a dual tether, route the
tether over the seatback.

extension in an extended cab model.
Never install a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the right
rear seating position without the seat
cushion extension.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride in the front
passenger seat when a rear-facing child
restraint is installed in the right rear
seating position. To properly fit the
rear-facing child restraint, the front
seatback will need to be tilted forward
which will not allow a passenger to sit
properly in the front outboard passenger
seat. The passenger could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.
{Warning
Do not attach a top tether to the loop
near the top of the seatback and directly
behind the seating position in which the
child restraint is installed in an extended
cab with rear seats. The top tether will
not be able to be properly tightened. See
instructions below for how to properly
attach a top tether.
Extended Cab Rear Seat Cushion Extension
The vehicle is equipped with a headrest that
is used as a seat cushion extension for
installation of child restraints in the right
rear seat.
{Warning
The right rear seat cushion extension is
designed to support the weight of a child
in a child restraint or booster seat. It is
neither designed nor intended to support
the weight of an adult. Use the seat
cushion extension only when a child
restraint or booster seat is installed in
the right rear seating position. When installing a rear-facing child restraint
in the right rear seating position, move the
front seat all the way forward and tilt the
seatback forward to properly install the child
restraint. See
Power Seat Adjustment 023,
Seat Adjustment 023, and Reclining
Seatbacks 023. When a rear-facing child
restraint is installed properly, the front
passenger seat cannot be used.
1. Always install the seat cushion extension in the right rear seating position when
installing a forward-facing or rear-facing
child restraint. Also use the seat cushion
extension for booster seats that extend
past the front edge of the seat cushion.

3. Insert the headrest posts into the holeson the front of the passenger side seat
cushion to install the seat cushion
extension. The notches on the post
should face the passenger side of the
vehicle. Try to move the headrest to
make sure it is locked in place.
4. Put the child restraint on the seat. When installing a rear-facing child
restraint, move the front seat all the
way forward and tilt the seatback
forward to properly install the child
restraint per the child restraint
manufacturer instructions. See Seat
Adjustment 023 and
Reclining Seatbacks 023. When a rear-facing child restraint is installed
properly, the front passenger seat cannot
be used.
5. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends using a top tether, adjust
the top tether to its full length and
attach it to the top tether anchor. Refer
to the instructions that came with the
child restraint and see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH System)
0 51.
6. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the child
restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if
needed.
7. Push the latch plate into the buckle untilit clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child restraint, so
that the seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
The push button used to release the
latch plate must be visible and not
obscured by the child restraint. There
must not be direct contact of the child
restraint to the push button.
