SSS0133
WARNING
.Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined. This
can be dangerous. The shoulder belt
will not be against your body. In an
accident, you could be thrown into it
and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat
properly. See “Precautions on seat
belt usage” (P.1-10) .
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.
SEATS

SSS0792
FRONT SEATS
Front manual seat adjustment
Forward and backward:
Pull the lever
*1up and hold it while you slide
the seat forward or backward to the desired
position. Release the lever to lock the seat in
position.
Reclining:
To recline the seatback, pull the lever
*2up and
lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull
the lever up and lean your body forward. Release
the lever to lock the seatback in position.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10) .) Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position or N (Neutral) position with the parking
brake fully applied.
SSS0793
Seat lifter (for driver’s seat):
Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to
adjust the seat height until the desired position
is achieved.

REAR SEATS (if so equipped)
Forward and backward
Pull the lever*1up and hold it while you slide
the seat forward or backward to the desired
position. Release the lever to lock the seat in
position.
Reclining
To recline the seatback, pull the strap*2and
lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull
the strap up and lean your body forward.
Release the strap to lock the seatback in

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10) .)
Folding
Before folding the rear seats:
.
Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks
(except for Cargo Van models)” (P.1-16) .)
. Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and secure
the connector and seat belt tongues on the
seat belt hook. (See “Rear center seat belt
(except for Cargo Van models)” (P.1-16) .)
SSS0987
.Stow seat belt buckles by pushing the seat
belt buckles into seat pockets.
The seat belt buckles should only be stowed
when the rear seat is folded. The rear seat belt
buckles should be in the unstowed position at all
other times.

SSS0962
To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the strap
*1or*2.
CAUTION
When folding or returning the
seatback(s) to the upright position, to
avoid injury to yourself and others:
.Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
. The seatback is spring assisted and
may move at a rapid rate. Be careful
not to allow the seatback to pinch or
hit any part of your body when you
fold it.
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched. Unstow the seat belt
buckles by pulling the buckles out of the seat
pockets.
WARNING
. Do not use the rear seat belts when
the buckles are stowed in the seat
pockets. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident. .
Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any objects are on the rear
seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
. 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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other
vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraints properly, as specified in
this section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint
has been removed. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall and properly
adjust the head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the
head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.
