1-7 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.

1-9 Split Bench Seats
If you have the third row split bench seat, the seatbacks
can be folded down individually and the sections can be
removed individually.
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 a seatback to an upright position,
push and pull on the seatback to check that it is
locked upright.

6. To unlatch the front latches, squeeze the angled latch
release bar toward the straight crossbar.
7. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly forward, then
toward the rear of the vehicle and then pulling it out.
Repeat these steps for the other section of the split
bench seat.Replacing the Split Bench Sections
Make sure the seatback is in the upright position and
the safety belts are on the correct section of the seat.
Don't put the sections of the bench seat in so they face
rearward because they won't latch that way. If you want
more storage room behind the seat, adjust each section
by sliding it forward.
The split benches have seat position labels, located on
the back of each seat, showing where the seat must go.
Follow that diagram.
The left section of the 50/50 split bench uses
the G and H sets of floor cups.
The right section of the 50/50 split bench uses
the I and J sets of floor cups.
See ªRear Seatsº in the beginning of this section for
more details. The seat must be placed in the proper
location for the legs to attach correctly.

CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
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.
Captain's Chairs
The captain's chairs seatbacks can be folded forward or
reclined and the seats can be removed.
To recline the seatback, lift up on the recliner lever located
on the outboard side of the seat. Use the recliner lever to
move the seatback to the desired position.

If your vehicle doesn't have the child restraint
locking feature on the shoulder belt retractor,
tighten the belt by pulling up on the shoulder
belt while you push down on the child restraint.
You may find it helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.Older Children
Older children who have outgrown booster seats should
wear the vehicle's safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a
window so the child can wear a lap
-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
