pull the lock release lever upward. This will
release the seat on its track so you can
move it forward or rearward to the desired
position. When you find the position you
want, release the lever and slide the seat
forward or rearward on its track until it locks
into the desired position and cannot be
moved further.

WARNING:
o Never adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or
unexpected movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle resulting in an accident. Only
adjust the driver’s seat when the ve-
hicle is stationary.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag. Position the seat so that
you can sit as far back as possible
from the air bag and still comfortably
reach all controls. o Do not attempt to operate the main
switch on another door in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.

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.

CAUTION:
When returning the rear seatbacks to
the upright position, remember to return
the rear shoulder belts to their proper
position. Routing the safety belt webbing
through the rear safety belt guides will
help keep the belts from being trapped
behind or under the seats.

2nd row seat
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.

SEAT BELTS
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.

B150G02A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve maxi-
mum effectiveness of the restraint system,
all passengers should be sitting up and the
front seats should be in an upright position
when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot
provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat
is in a reclined position.
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
restraint 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 re-
clined, the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under the lap
belt causing serious internal injuries or
the occupant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers
should always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted (see page 1-31), and with
the seatbacks upright.
!
!
B160A02A-AATCare of Seat BeltsSeat belt systems should never be disas-
sembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING:
When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback
was folded down, be careful not to dam-
age the seat belt webbing or buckle. Be
sure that the webbing or buckle does not
get caught or pinched in the rear seat. A
seat belt with damaged webbing or buckle
will not be as strong and could possibly
fail during a collision or sudden stop,
resulting in serious injury.

WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration. Never wear the seat belt
under the arm nearest the door.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A01CM-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden ma-
neuver. According to accident statistics
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use
one of the seat belts provided.
All 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. You must use a
commercially available child restraint sys-
tem that meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS). Child restraint systems are de-
signed to be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/
shoulder belt, or by a LATCH system (if
installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
