After sliding the seat, check to ensure that both sides of the seat are
locked in position. This must be done before the vehicle is put into
motion in order to prevent unintended movement of the seat.
Every time you adjust any seat, check to be sure that it is
properly latched in the lock position of both seat tracks. If the
seat is not properly latched, it could come loose and increase the risk
of severe injury or death in an accident.
The 3rd row bench seat is not removable.
To remove the 2nd row seat(s):
Use the following instructions for
both bench and bucket seats.
The seat tracks may have grease on
them that could stain your clothing
or vehicle fabric surfaces if care is
not taken when handling the seats.
Fold the seatback flat before
removing each seat. Refer to the
Adjusting 2nd row seatsportion of
this section.
1. (Bench seats only) Disengage the lap/shoulder belt from the seat belt
detach anchor by pushing the release control and lifting upward.

the release straps located on each
side of the seat, releasing the rear
floor latches.
3. Lift up the back of the seat to clear the floor latches and then pull the
seat rearward until the front hooks have come out of the floor anchors.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front passenger and rear seat
outboard safety belts have two types of locking modes described below:
Vehicle sensitive mode
The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor mode, allowing free
shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in
response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes
suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of
approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the combination safety belts will
lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.
Automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.
When to use the automatic locking mode
²Anytimea child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or
outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children 12 years old and
under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever
possible. Refer toSafety Restraints for ChildrenorSafety Seats for
Childrenlater in this chapter.

system to respond quickly. Use of an engine block heater is strongly
recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach -23ÉC
(-10ÉF) or below.
For best results, plug the heater in at least three hours before starting the
vehicle. Using the heater for longer than three hours will not harm the
engine, so the heater can be plugged in the night before starting the vehicle.
To prevent electrical shock, do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust
fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle,
have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and
could kill you.
Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever:
²the vehicle is raised for service.
²the sound of the exhaust system changes.
²the vehicle has been damaged in a collision.
WARNING:Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and
certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped in an open area for
long periods of time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch).
Adjust the heating or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
Improve vehicle ventilation by keeping all air inlet vents clear of snow,
leaves and other debris.
