But do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.
{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their
job when you are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job because it
will not be against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety belt
properly.
1-6

Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraints are adjustable on the rst and
second row seats. They are not adjustable on the third
row seat, if equipped. To adjust a head restraint,
slide it up or down.
Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and straps
used to adjust, remove, and reinstall the seats. By using
the levers and straps in the correct order, you can
easily remove the seats from the vehicle.
When reinstalling the seats, make sure the seats are in
the proper positions.
If your vehicle has a second row center console, it can
be removed. SeeSecond Row Center Console on
page 2-53. Do not put a seat in the center position
because the safety belt cannot be worn properly in this
position. SeeSafety Belts: They Are for Everyone
on page 1-22.

Replacing the Bucket Seats
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
{CAUTION:
A seat that is not locked into place properly
can move around in a collision or sudden stop.
People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure
to lock the seat into place properly when
installing it.
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person
wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
After installing the seat, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are properly routed
and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not put the seats in so they face rearward because
they will not latch that way. If you want more storage
room behind the seat, adjust the seat by sliding it
forward.
Make sure the seats are in the full rear position before
beginning this procedure.
1. With the seat folded, squeeze the angled bar
toward the straight crossbar while placing the
front hooks of the bucket seat onto the front two
oor pins.

Replacing the Captain’s Chairs
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
{CAUTION:
A seat that is not locked into place properly
can move around in a collision or sudden stop.
People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure
to lock the seat into place properly when
installing it.
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person
wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
After installing the seat, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are properly routed
and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not put the seats in so they face rearward because
they will not latch that way. For the second row, if
you want more storage room behind the seat, adjust the
seat by sliding it forward.
Make sure the seatbacks are in the upright position, the
seat belts are on the correct side of the seats and
the seats are in the full rear position before beginning
this procedure.

{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person
wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
After installing the seat, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are properly routed
and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not put the third row seat in so it faces rearward
because it will not latch that way. The seat has to go in
before the convenience center. SeeConvenience
Center on page 2-56for more information.
For ease of installing the seat, put the seat in the folded
position before beginning this procedure.
1. From the rear of the vehicle, place the front hooks
of the seat onto the front oor pins in the third row.
To do this, the seat will need to be angled
approximately 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) from the oor
so the front hooks clear the rear oor pins and
rear oor cups. Use the release handle to guide the
seat into place.If the front hooks are not attached correctly, the
rear latches will not attach to the rear set of
oor pins.
2. Firmly push the rear latches into the rear oor pins
by pushing down on the rear of the seat.
3. Try to raise the seat to make sure that it is locked
down. The indicator pins will no longer stick out
when the seat is properly latched into place.
{CAUTION:
If the seatback is not locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
4. Return the seatback to its upright position. See
“Returning the Seatback to an Upright Position”
earlier in this section.

Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are 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.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she can not
wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a
crash and you are not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse. You can hit
things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously injured or killed. In the
same crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt,
and check that your passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.
{CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not
allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle
that is not equipped with seats and safety
belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has indicators to remind you and your
passengers to buckle your safety belts. SeeSafety Belt
Reminder Light on page 3-33andPassenger Safety
Belt Reminder Light on page 3-34.
