1-9 Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Models)
The right front seat of your vehicle makes it easy to get
in and out of the rear seat.

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.
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 on the rear of the
seatbacks. Push back on the seatbacks as you pull up on
the handles. The head restraint will automatically fold
out of the way when the seatback is folded down.
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.

1-10
To return the head restraints to the upright position,
reach behind the seats and pull the head restraint up until
it locks into position.On two-door models with an inside mounted spare tire,
the driver's side rear seat head restraint must be lifted
and held upright as the seatback is raised. Otherwise, the
head restraint will hit the spare tire and prevent the
seatback from properly latching.
Push and pull on the head restraints to check that they
have locked in the upright position. If they haven't, have
them fixed immediately.
For information on adjusting the rear seat head
restraints, see ªHead Restraintsº in the Index.

Q: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
ªChildren.º 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 ªSeatsº in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

This vehicle has one
double
-sided key for the
ignition, endgate/liftgate,
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 made easily using this number. Your selling
dealer should also have this number.
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.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
You can use the keyless entry system, if you have
this feature.
You can use your key to unlock your door from
the outside.
To lock your door from the inside, slide the lever on
your inside door down.
To unlock the door, slide the
lever on your inside door
up. You will see a red area
on the lever.
