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” later in this
section.
. 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. .
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. The seat
may move suddenly and could
cause loss of control of the vehicle.
. 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 damages.
. Avoid contact with the underside of
the seat when retrieving items or
cleaning underneath it. There may
be sharp objects on the underside
of the seat which may cause injury.

WARNING
.If you fold the front passenger’s
seatback down to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might
force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or
even death. Secure objects away
from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. See “PRECAUTIONS
ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM” later in this section.
.Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passen-
ger’s seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas
by passengers could result in ser-
ious injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
SSS0797
REAR SEATS
FoldingBefore folding the rear seats:
.Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” later
in this section.)
.Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and store
the connector and seat belt tongues into the
retractor base on the ceiling. (See “Rear
center seat belt” later in this section.)
To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the adjusting knob
*A
.To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
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 are more likely to be
seriously 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 luggage is on the rear
seats.
.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.

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, be
sure to attach the rear center seat
belt connector.
.Do not unfasten the rear center seat
belt connector except when folding
down the rear seat.

belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear

and the seatbacks are not secured
in the correct position, serious per-
sonal injury may result in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
