FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
.Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. In a collision, people riding
in these areas without proper re-
straints are more likely to be ser-
iously injured or killed.
. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any cargo is on the rear
seats.
. Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide sig-
nificant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and
adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason. .
If the head restraints are removed
for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers
or damage to the vehicle in case of
sudden braking or an accident.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
. When folding the bench seat seat-
back down for maximum storage,
make sure the seat base is in the
latched position by rocking the seat
base. If the seat base is not properly
secured, cargo stored on top of a
folded seatback may become a
projectile causing personal injury
or vehicle damage.
CAUTION
.When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure
that cargo does not contact the
center console of the captain’s seat
(if so equipped) to avoid possible
damage to the console.
. When folding or returning the seat
(s) to the upright position, to avoid
injury to yourself and others:
— Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
— Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.
Stowing 2nd and 3rd row seats
To stow 2nd and 3rd row seats for maximum
cargo capacity:
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-11

5. Return the 2nd row seat to a seatingposition by raising the 2nd row seatbacks
to an upright position. Make sure the seat-
back is locked in position.
CAUTION
When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure that
cargo does not contact the center
console of the captain’s seat (if so
equipped) to avoid possible damage
to the console.
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
. Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

side to side while holding the child restraint
near the LATCH attachment path. The child
restraint should not move more than 1 inch
(25 mm) , from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the LATCH
attachment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint or try
installing by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable) . Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles. 5. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 1
through 4.

STALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
.The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child
restraint. Failure to use the ALR
mode will result in the child re-
straint not being properly secured.
The restraint could tip over or be
loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” (P.1-
60) .
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd center seat posi-
tion, both the center seat belt con-
nector tongue and buckle tongue
must be secured. See “3rd row

STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” sections before
installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installa-
tion.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
