reclining seatbacks and head restraints.

Manual Front Seat
IC"
I , You can lose control of the
- b vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver's seat while the
vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make
you push a
pedal when you don't want to.
Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
Move
the lever under the front seat to
unlock it. Slide the seat to where you
want
it. Then release the lever and try tc
move the seat with your body, to make
sure the seat is locked into place.

Reclining Front Seatback

the outer side
of the seat and move the
seatback
to where you want it. Release
the lever
to lock the seatback. Pull up
on the lever and the seat will go to an
upright position.
But don't have a seatback reclined if
-Jour vehicle is moving.

A
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even
if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do
its job because it won’t be against your body.
Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving
neck
or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a crash the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle
is in motion, have the seatback
upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some
vehicles 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.
On some models, the head restraints tilt
forward and rearward also.

I Front Seatback Latches
(2-DOOR MODELS)
In 2-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 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.

Folding Rear Wagon Seats
To add more cargo room, your rear
seatback can be easily folded down. Be
sure to check your seatback latches now
and then by pushing the seatback back
and forth. If they do not latch properly,
have them checked by your dealer.
Remember to keep safety belts clear of
seat hinges and latches
so they are not
damaged when you raise and lower the
seatback.
&
To Lower the Split Folding Rear Seat:
1. There is a release lever on the side of
each seat. Pull the release lever
forward and pull the seatback
forward and down.
