Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Front Seatback Latches
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the b\
ack seat or reach
the storage area behind the 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 hel\
p 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.

small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s \
face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still
is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provi\
de.
If the
child is
so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s
face
or neck, you might want to place the child in a seat that has a lap
belt,
if your vehicle has one.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn
low and
snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to
the child’s pelvic bones
in a crash.
