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 “Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” in this
section.
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls. Un-
attended children could become
involved in serious accidents. • 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 seatback is re-
clined, 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.

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” in
this section. Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the vehicle is in the P (Park) position
or N (Neutral) position with the parking brake
applied.Seat lifter (for driver’s seat):

the seat height to the preferred position.

REAR SEATS
Folding
Before folding the rear seats:
• Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hookslocated on the side wall. See “Seat belt hooks”
in this section.
To fold down the seatback, pull the release knob.
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
WARNING
• 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 folded-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous 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, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not at-
tach anything to the head restraint/
headrest stalks or remove the head
restraints/headrests. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly ad-
just 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 colli-
sion. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with a head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable) .
• Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint/ headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or
non-adjustable.
• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have mul- tiple notches along the stalks to lock them in a
desired adjustment position. • The non-adjustable head restraints/headrests
have a single locking notch to secure them to
the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment: – For the adjustable type, align the headrestraint/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 re- moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in
place before riding in that designated seating
position.
