Front Seatback Latches (%o-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
going down a fairly steep hill.
To fold a 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.
I I A CAUTION:
I 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 in place.
Easy Entry Seat Option (Two-Door Models)
The right front seat of your vehicle makes it easy to get
in and
out of the rear seat.
0 When you tilt the right front seatback fully forward,
the whole seat will slide forward.
0 After someone gets into the rear seat area, move the
right front seatback
to its original position. Then
move the seat rearward until it locks.
0 To get out, again tilt the seatback fully forward.

A CAUTION:
If an easy entry right front seat isn’t locked, it
can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person
sitting there could be injured. After you’ve used
it, be sure to push rearward on an easy entry
seat
to be sure it is locked.
Safety Belts: They’re For Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells you
some things you should not do
with safety belts.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a
safety belt properly.
If you are in a crash and
you’re
not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can
be much worse. You can
hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from
it. You can be
seriously injured or killed.
In the same crash, you
might
not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten
your safety belt, and check that your passengers’
belts are fastened properly
too.
I
This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or
“Start” when your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll
hear a tone, too. It’s the reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why: Thev work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a
crash, you don’t know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild.
In them, you won’t get hurt
even if you’re not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a train, that even buckled up
a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in
between. In many of them, people who buckle up can
survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they
could be badly hurt or killed.

Automatic Lap-Shoulder Belt
This safety belt is called “automatic” because you don’t
have to buckI’e up when you get into your vehicle. 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.
