1-7 Second Row Safety Belt Stowage
If your vehicle has seats in the third row, there is a
sleeve on the second row outside safety belt to store the
safety belt while entering and exiting the third row of
the vehicle.
If your vehicle has a split bench seat in the second row,
follow this procedure:

Pull the belt out and slide the sleeve along the belt
until it reaches the patch of Velcro
 on the roof.

Simply press the sleeve against the Velcro patch to
secure it in place.
Do not have the second row outside safety belt stored if
someone is sitting in the second row outside position.
To release the second row outside safety belt, just pull
the sleeve away from the Velcro patch and use the safety
belt as usual. The sleeve should slide freely when not
in use.
There is also a clip on the safety belt used to secure the
belt after it is disconnected from the mini
-buckle. When
removing the split second row bench seat, secure the
loose end of the safety belt in this clip. This will keep
the safety belt from dangling and possibly
striking something.
Flip and Fold Feature
The rear seats in your vehicle, except the captain's
chairs, can be folded forward. Use this feature for
exiting and entering third row seats.
1. Push the adjustable head restraints fully down.
2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat. If the seat adjusts,
slide it all the way back.
3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins;
hang on to the straps as the seat folds forward.

2-76 Luggage Carrier (Option)
CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
-- like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth
-- the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
If you have the optional luggage carrier, you can load
things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has
slats and side rails attached to the roof, as well as sliding
crossrails and places to use for tying things down. These
let you load some things on top of your vehicle, as long
as they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier.
