Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that
could damage your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can
damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.
But the
notice will tell you what to do to help avoid the
damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings
in different colors
or in different words.
You’ll also see warning labels
on your vehicle. They use
yellow for cautions, blue for notices and the words
CAUTION or NOTICE.

Seatback Latches
The front seat 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.
If your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep hill,
the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift
this latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to
work properly.

Split Folding Rear Seat (Option)
Pull forward on the seat tab to fold the seat down. To
return the seat to its original position, push it back up
and make sure it latches.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or
“air bag” system. Your
vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle
up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the
Index
.)

In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They 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 mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious 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 have been badly hurt or
killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
... a lot!
