FLEXIBLE SEATING

●Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may provide
significant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
● If the head restraints/headrests are re-
moved 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 posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent 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.
Folding the 2nd row bench seat (if so
equipped)
To fold the 2nd row bench seat flat for maximum
cargo hauling:
1Pull the strap forward, located in the center
of each seat cushion, and fold each seat
cushion toward the front of the vehicle. 2. Pull the strap to release the head
restraint/headrest rearward.

4Then lift up on the recline lever to fold the
seatback flat forward.
5. There is a carpet panel flap that can be folded toward the back of the vehicle. 6. The carpet panel flaps provide a level cargo
floor when the 3rd row seats are also folded
flat. Reverse this process to return the 2nd
row captain’s chairs to a seating position.
Make sure to properly raise the seat-
back to an upright position and push
the seat cushion down into place.
7. Rotate the head restraint/headrest forward to return it to the normal seating position.

3rd row manual folding seats (if so
equipped)
To fold the 3rd row split bench seat flat for
maximum cargo capacity:1. Disconnect and secure the center seat belt and tongues into the retractor base. For
additional information, refer to “Stowing the
3rd row center seat belt” in this section.
2. Lower the head restraints/headrests to the full down position.
3. Then pull up on the latch located on the outside corner of each seatback and fold the
seatback forward over the seat base. To return the 3rd row split bench seat to a seating
position, unfold the seatback and push it back
until it latches into position.

●Disconnect and secure the center seat belt
and tongues into the retractor base. For
additional information, refer to “Stowing the
3rd row center seat belt” in this section.
– Always reconnect the center seat belt when the seat is returned to the upright
position.
● Make sure that there are no objects on the
seatback cushion.

the shoulder belt is routed over your shoul-
der and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two modes
of operation: ● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend and
retract to allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks
the seat belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly
or during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt
cannot be extended again until the seat belt
tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode
after the seat belt fully retracts. For additional
information, refer to “Child restraints” in this sec-
tion.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-
sion. It can also change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. For additional
information, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.

Stowing the 3rd row center seat belt
When folding down the 3rd row seat, the 3rd row
center seat belt can be retracted into a stowed
position as follows:
1Hold the connector tongue so that the seat
belt does not retract suddenly when the
tongue is released from the connector
buckle. Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool such as a key into the
connector buckle
A.
2Retract the seat belt up to the retractor base.
3Insert the seat belt tongue into the fabric
sleeve so it will lay flat. Then secure the
connector tongue into the retractor base.

following speed:
1Intermittent (INT) — intermittent operation
can be adjusted by turning the knob toward
A(Slower) orB(Faster) . Also, the inter-
mittent operation speed varies in accor-
dance with the vehicle speed. (For example,
when the vehicle speed is high, the intermit-
tent operation speed will be faster.) NOTE:
You can turn on or turn off the driving
speed dependent intermittent wiper func-
tion. For additional information, refer to
“Comfort & convenience settings” in the

●Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from the
air bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.
Pull the lock lever toward the driver and hold it to
adjust the steering wheel up or down to the
desired position.
Release the lock lever to lock the steering wheel
in place. The accelerator and brake pedals can be ad-
justed for driving comfort.
