Head Restraints
Slide the 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.
Front Seatback Latches (Two-Door Models)
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the
back seat.
Your seatback will move .back and forth freely, unless you
come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without some help from you. That’s if your vehicle is parked facing
down a fairly steep hill.
To fold a front seatback
forward, push the seatback
toward the rear as you
lift
this latch. Then the
seatback will fold forward.
The latch must be down for
the seat to work properly.

And you don't have to unbuckle when you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. Then close and
lock the door.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index)
so
you can sit up straight. The lap belt should be worn as
low on the hips as
possible. In a crash, this applies force
to the strong pelvic
bones. And you'd be less likely
to slide under the lap
belt. If
you slid under it, the belt would apply force at
your abdomen. This could cause serious
or even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts
of the body are best
able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt
locks if there's a sudden stop or a crash.
