Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts
and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback.
WARNING
NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS
sit well back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. When
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder
belt cannot do its job because it will not
be snug against your chest. Instead,
it will be in front of you. During an
accident, you could be thrown into the
seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder
belt.

position so that you can easily control
the steering wheel, foot pedals and
controls on the instrument panel.
WARNING
NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
Always stop adjusting the seats when
the seat has been adjusted as far
forward or rearward as possible.
Do not adjust the seats longer than
necessary when the vehicle is turned
off. This may result in unnecessary
battery drain.
Do not operate two or more seats at
the same time. This may result in an

Rear Seats
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death in
case of an accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
OOS037019N
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.

a folded to an upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly. Ensure
that the seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by pushing on
the top of the seatback. In an accident
or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward with
great force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or death.

WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the shift
lever is in P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure to
take these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
CAUTION
Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.
When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
Unsecured cargo in the passenger
compartment can cause damage to
the vehicle or injury to it's occupants.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision.

Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front and rear (second row
and/or third row) seats have adjustable
head restraints. The head restraints
provide comfort for passengers, but
more importantly they are designed to
help protect passengers from whiplash
and other neck and spinal injuries during
an accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.
WARNING
To help reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when adjusting
your head restraints:
Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraints removed or
reversed.
OLF034072N
Adjust the head restraints so the
middle of the head restraints is at the
same height as the height of the top
of the eyes.
NEVER adjust the head restraints
position of the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
Adjust the head restraints as close to
the passenger’s head as possible. Do
not use a seat cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback.
Make sure the head restraints locks
into position after adjusting it.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the head
restraints to the lowest position. The
rear seat head restraints can reduce the
visibility of the rear area.

SEAT BELTS
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when using
seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air
bags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
not a replacement. Most countries
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts.
WARNING
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehicle is
moving. Take the following precautions
when adjusting and wearing seat belts:
Children under the age of 13 should
be properly restrained in the rear
seats.
Never allow children to ride in the
front passenger seat, unless the air
bag is deactivated. If a child is seated
in the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible and
properly restrain them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child to be
carried on an occupant’s lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is moving.
Do not allow children to share a seat
or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
NEVER wear a seat belt over fragile
objects. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt can damage it.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt will not
protect you properly in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the webbing
or hardware is damaged.
Do not latch the seat belt into the
buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle interfering with the seat belt
latch mechanism. This may prevent
the seat belt from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prohibit the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prohibit the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts and seat belt
assemblies will not operate properly.
Always replace:
Frayed, contaminated, or damaged
webbing.
Damaged hardware.
The entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in an accident, even
if damage to webbing or assembly is
not apparent.
