Here you’ll find information about the seats in your
vehicle and how
to use your safety belts properly. You
can also learn about some things you should not do with
air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust
them, and fold them up and down.
Manual Front Seat
You can lose control of the 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 of the standard seat
toward the driver’s door to
unlock
it. Slide the seat to
where
you want it. Then
release the lever and try to
move the seat with your
body,to make sure the seat
is locked into place.

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.
Rear Seats
Your vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold
the seatbacks down for more cargo space.
Tilt the seatback completely forward again to get out. The rear seat release handles
are
in the upper center of
the rear
of the seatbacks. Push back on the seatbacks as
you pull up on the handles.
To raise the seatbacks, just
lift up the seatbacks and push
until they lock in the upright position.
Push and pull on the seatbacks to check that
the latches
have locked
in the upright position. If they haven’t, have
them fixed immediately.

Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for
smaller children and babies, If a child will be riding in
your vehicle, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection.
First,
you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)

the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.

Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely
to be
seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts. The
best way to protect the fetus
is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt
is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as ‘for anyone, the key
to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching
the thighs. 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.
On four-door models, the safety belt also locks if
you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
A CAUTION:
You can be serious1 hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.
