B080C03A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo recline the seatback, lean forward to
take your weight off it, then pull up on the
recliner control lever at the outside edge of
the seat. Now lean back until the desired
seatback angle is achieved. To lock the
seatback into position, release the recliner
control lever.
!
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your re-
straint system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv-
ers and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.
!
WARNING:
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward or
rearward without using the lock release
lever. Sudden or unexpected move-
ment of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height as the top of
the occupant's eyes. For this reason,
the use of a cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback is not
recommended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION:

3rd row seat
(If installed)
WARNING:
o Never allow passengers to sit on the
3rd row seat when the 2nd row seat is
double-folded. This could result in se-
rious injury or death in case of an
accident or a sudden stop.
o Do not allow passengers to fold up
and down the seatback and seat cush-
ion while the car is moving.
!
WARNING:
o When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position after being folded
down, be careful not to damage the
seatbelt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle
to get caught or pinched in the rear
seat.
o When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position, be sure it is locked
into position by attempting to move it.
o Never attempt to fold or return the
seat to an upright position while the
vehicle is moving.o The purpose of the fold-down rear
seat back is to allow you to carry more
cargo objects than could otherwise
be accommodated. Never allow pas-
sengers to sit on the cargo area while
the car is moving. This is not a proper
seating position and no seat belts are
available for use when the seat back
is folded down. This could result in
serious injury or death in case of an
accident or a sudden stop. Objects
should not extend higher than the top
of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.

B150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. Information about
the use of these restraints begins on page
1-33.
!
B150A03S-AATSeat Belt Precautions
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced air bags, unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured by a de-
ploying air bag. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight.
