1-6 Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable
on others. Slide an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of
your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury in a crash.
Rear Seats
Seat Controls
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and straps
used to adjust, remove and reinstall the seats. By using
the levers and straps, in the correct order, you can easily
remove the seats from your vehicle.
Floor Seat Pin Diagram
When you put the seats back in the vehicle, be sure to
follow the label on the back of the seat for proper
location. Follow the diagram above when the text in this
manual tells you what sets of floor cups to use for
each seat.

1-8 Split Bench Seats
If you have the split bench seat (50/50 or 40/60), the
seatbacks can be folded down individually and the
sections can be removed individually. The sections can
also be adjusted forward or rearward individually.
The second row (40/60) split bench may be equipped
with a built
-in child restraint. See ªBuilt-In Child
Restraintº in the Index.
Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat can
be either folded down or reclined. The following
explains how to use either the nylon strap or the lever to
fold or recline the seatbacks.
To fold down the seatback,
pull this nylon strap on the
rear of the seat, while
pulling the seatback down
until it locks into place.
To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap while raising the
seatback until it locks upright.
To fold down the seatback,
lift up on this lever located
on the front of the seatback.
Use the lever to raise or lower the seatback to the
desired position.
When raising or reclining a seatback to an upright
position, push and pull on the seatback to check that it is
locked upright.

7. Attach the mini-buckle so that the safety belt is
ready for use when a passenger uses the seat.
The buckle reattaches by pushing the latch into the
buckle until the red center pops out again.
Repeat these steps for the other section of the split
bench seat.
CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted won't provide the
protection needed in a crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously injured. After
installing the seat, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.
Bucket Seats
There are three types of rear bucket seats: RIGHT
ONLY, CENTER OR LEFT and LEFT ONLY.
The RIGHT ONLY seat may be equipped with the
built
-in child restraint option.
The rear bucket seats can be removed to provide extra
storage. The seat that has the built
-in child restraint
option fits in only one location in your vehicle, but seats
that don't have the built
-in child restraint option can be
moved to different rows.

4. To unlatch the front latches, with the seat folded
forward, squeeze the angled latch release bar toward
the straight crossbar.
5. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly toward the
rear of the vehicle and then pulling it out. This
should be done in one motion.Replacing the Bucket Seats
Don't put the seats in so they face rearward because they
won't latch that way. If you want more storage room
behind the seat, adjust the seat by sliding it forward.
The bucket seats have seat position labels, located on the
back of the seat, showing where the seat must go.
Follow that diagram. See ªSeat Controlsº in the
beginning of this section for more details. The seat
must be placed in the proper location for the legs to
attach correctly.
RIGHT ONLY seats that don't have the built
-in child
restraint option fit only in the right location of either
row, the E and F or I and J sets of floor cups.
The CENTER OR LEFT seat fits in the center location
or in either left location, the A and B, C and D or
G and H sets of floor cups.
RIGHT ONLY seats that have the built
-in child restraint
option fit only in the right location of the second row,
the E and F sets of floor cups.

2-12 Switchbanks
There are two sets of switchbanks located in the front of the
vehicle. The switches will vary with the options that are on
your vehicle. It is useful to become familiar with them since
they are used frequently while operating the vehicle.
Overhead Console Switchbank
This switchbank is located in the overhead console. The
switches that you may find in this switchbank are the
interior lights override, power sliding door override, power
sliding door and the power rear quarter windows. If your
vehicle does not have some of the options controlled by
these switches, there will be a blank button in its place.
For more information, please see each of these features
in the Index.
Instrument Panel Switchbank
This switchbank is located in the instrument panel below
the comfort controls. The switches and controls that you
may find in this switchbank are the rear fan knob, rear
window wiper/washer, fog lamps, traction control and
heated seats. If your vehicle does not have some of the
options controlled by these switches, there will be a
blank button in its place.
For more information, please see each of these features
in the Index.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the optional rear
climate control system, there will be a storage space in
this switchbank. The rubber mat can be removed for
cleaning. Snap the mat into place after cleaning.

Removing and Replacing the Tray
To remove the tray, slide it almost all the way out. Don't
let the tray lock over the plastic tabs at the end of the
guide rails (A). Lift the tray out of the guide rails. The
rubber mat under the tray also lifts out for cleaning.
When the rubber mat is put back in, be sure the tabs at
the back of the mat are seated in the slots at the back of
the storage bin.The dividers in the tray can be removed by squeezing
the plastic tabs on the bottom of the dividers, while
pulling up. Put the dividers back in by sliding them
down until the tabs click into place.
To reinstall the tray, line up the guides on the bottom of
the tray with the guide rails in the storage bin door.
Slide the tray back in.

passenger's seat. To open the bin, lift the handle and
slide the drawer out.

There are cupholders on the inboard side of the front
passenger's seat and the right side of the second row
bench seat.
To use the cupholders, simply pull down the tray.
Keep the trays up when not in use.
Your vehicle also has cupholders on the driver's side of
the vehicle, next to the third row seats. The seatbacks
have cupholders that can be used when the seatbacks are
folded down.
