Stowable Seat
Your vehicle may have a stowable seat. The stowable
seat is a full bench seat and comes with the convenience
center. See
Convenience Center on page 2-58for more
information. The stowable seat can be removed and
replaced, or with the seatback folded, it can lie ¯ush with
the convenience center.

{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.To fold down the seatback,
pull up on the lever located
on the back of the seat,
and push the seatback
down until it is locked
into place.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into place.
To raise the seatback, do one of the following:
·From the rear of the vehicle, pull up on the lever to
release the seatback, then pull the strap located on
the right side of the seat, to pull the seatback up.
The seatback has a patch of hook and loop fastener
to stow the strap on the rear of the seat when
not in use.
·From the passenger's side sliding door, pull up on
the lever to release the seatback, then push up on
the seatback to raise the seat.

This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.

2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see ªSeatsº in the Index.3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn't long enough, see

positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

The right front passenger's side impact air bag is in the
side of the passenger's seatback closest to the door.
{CAUTION:
If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not in¯ate properly or it
might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
in¯ating air bag must be kept clear. Don't put
anything between an occupant and an air bag,
and don't attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any other air
bag covering. Don't let seat covers block the
in¯ation path of a side impact air bag.

{CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition

operate the power windows or other controls or
even make the vehicle move. The children or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
Do not leave the keys in a vehicle with children.
Your vehicle's key can be used for the ignition as well
as the driver's door lock and storage compartments.
If you need a new key, contact your dealer, who
can obtain the correct key code.

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
·Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
·Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
·Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See ªBattery Replacementº under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-5.
·If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or
a quali®ed technician for service.

page 2-17.

driver's side sliding door can be opened normally.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
