The right front seat of your vehicle makes it easy to get
in and
out of the rear seat.
0 Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and
the whole seat will slide forward.
Move the seatback to its original position after
someone gets
into the rear seat area. Then move the
seat rearward until
it locks.
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.
Tilt the seatback completely forward again to get out.
Rear Seats
Your vehicle has a folding rear seat which lets you fold
the seatbacks down for more cargo space.
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

have locked in

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why
should I wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an
accident
-- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds
of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
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)
so you can sit up straight.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
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.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way
as the driver's safety belt. See "Driver Position"
earlier in this section.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all the way, it will
lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and start again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people
in the rear
seat are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers
who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out
of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder
belts. Here’s
how to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted. On four-door models, the
shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across you
very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock
it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

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 seriously 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This vehicle has one double-sided key for the
ignition, endgate, spare tire
lock (two-door vehicles)
and door locks.
It will fit
with either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer provides
the
owner with a pair of identical keys and a key
code number.
The key code number tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how
to make extra keys. Keep this number in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you’ll be able to have
new ones rnude cusily using this number. Your selling
dealer should also have this number.
I NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features
that can help prevent theft. But you can have a
lot
of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you
have extra keys.
