the seatback rearward until it latches.
After returning the seatback to its upright position, pull
the seatback forward
to make sure it is locked.
Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Utility)
The driver and passenger front bucket seat and the
60/40 split bench seat of your vehicle has an easy entry
feature.
This makes it easy to get in and out of the
rear seat.
A CAUTION:
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.
To operate the seat, pull
forward on the top
of the
lever, located at the side of
the seatback, and tilt the
back forward toward the
front
of the vehicle.
When
you do, the seat bottom will release. Just pull or
push the seat forward
until it stops.
To return the seat to its regular position, return the
seatback to its upright position, then push the whole seat
rearward until it latches.

automatically released. Pull the loop on the seatback
forward and fold the seatback onto the seat cushion.
While the seat is in the folded position, hang the latch
plate end of the outer passenger position safety belts on the \
hooks at the top of each retractor cover, out of the way.
To return the seat to the passenger position, just lift up

it rearward until it latches.
After returning the seat to the passenger position, pull

place. Also, return the safety belts and head restraints to
their original positions,
so they will be available for rear
seat passengers to use.
Folding the Rear Seat (4-Door Utility Model)
If your vehicle has a 60/40 rear seat, either side may be
folded down to give you more cargo space.
Before folding, place the latch plate portion
of the center
safety belt in the center arm rest. That way, the center
safety belt will be out of
the way when the seat is folded
and also will be easily available for passengers to use
when the seat is returned to the passenger position. Also,
make sure that nothing is under or
in front of the seat.
When the seat is folded, it
will lay flat on the floor.
First, remove the head
restraints. Push the release
buttons at the bottom
of
each head restraint height

Set the head restraints aside for now.
You will stow
them

the seat.

accident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good drivei-
doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 krn) 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.
How to Wear Safety Belts- Properly
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
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Don’t let it get twisted.
Pull up
on the latch plate to
make sure it is secure.
When the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way, it
will lock. If it does,
let it go back all the way and
start again.
If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end
of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had
to.

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely
to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The
safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
A
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.

On four-door utility models, move the shoulder belt
height adjuster to the height that is right for
you.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To move the height adjuster down, push in at the word
PRESS and move the height adjuster to the desired
position. You can move the adjuster up just by pushmg up
on the shoulder
belt guide. After you move the adjuster to
where you want it, try to move it down without pushing in
to make sure it has locked into position.
Adjust the height
so that the shoulder portion of the belt is
centered on your shoulder. The belt should be away from
your face and neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. 2-Door Utility and Suburban

Door Locks
A CAUTION:

open the doors and fall out. When
a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.

door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out
of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear,safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
