See pages 10-11 for important
safety information and warnings
about how to properly position
seats and seat-backs.
The front seats may be adjusted
forward or backward by pulling
up on the lever at the front of the seat and then using body pressure
to move the seat to the desired
position.
Let go of the lever and the seat
will lock into the desired position.
After adjusting the seat, use your
body weight to try to move it
forward and backward. Seat
movement indicates that at least
one of the seat adjusters did not
latch. Lift the lever and readjust
the seat. If the seat will not latch
firmly in position after several attempts, take the vehicle to your
dealer for service. An unlatched seat could increase your chance of
injury in an accident.
Always adjust the seat before you start driving. Trying to move the
seat while the vehicle is moving
could cause you to lose control.
Reclinin
g Adjustmen t
The front seat-backs can be tilted backward if so desired, using the
lever on the door side of each
front seat.
Raise the lever and use body
pressure to move the seat-back to
the desired position. Let go of the
lever and the seat-back will lock
into the desired position.

Keep the seat belt's webbing and
latch clear of the seat parts when
you tilt the folding seats forward
or backward. This helps to
prevent damage to the seat belt
system.
Adjust the seat-back before you
start driving. Trying to adjust the
seat-back with the vehicle in
motion could cause you to lose
control.
Hea d Restraint s
See page 12 for important safety information and warnings about
how to properly position the head
restraints.
Head restraints are designed to
help reduce the risk of neck injuries. They are most effective when you
adjust them so the back of the
occupant's head rests against the
center of the restraint. A taller
person should adjust the restraintas high as possible. Push the lock knob to unlock the
head restraint. Move the restraint
up or down as required.
Adjust the head restraint before
you start driving. Trying to adjust it while driving could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.
To remove a head restraint for
cleaning or repair, push the
release button and pull the
restraint out of the seat-back.

Your Passport comes with two
keys.
The key code number is stamped
on the metal plate attached to the
key ring.
For vehicle security: Record the key code number.
Keep the key code number

The ignition switch, on the right side of the steering column, has
five positions: LOC

position. This locks the steering and prevents normal use of the
steering wheel.
The key can be removed only when the ignition is in this
position. On automatic transmission models, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to the
"LOCK" position unless the shift lever has first been placed in the
"P" position. The shift lever is
then locked.

position, yo
u can use some
electrical accessories when the
engine is not running.
O N — The normal driving
position.
STAR T — This position starts the
engine. The switch returns to ON when you release the key.
