Folding the Seatbacks
The seatbacks (SUV only) are equipped with rearward
folding head restraints. When the seatback is being
folded down, the head restraint will automatically
fold rearward.
To fold the rear seat, do the following:
1. Make sure that nothing is under or in front
of the seat.
2. Pull up on the strap
loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion
and pull the seat
cushion up and fold
it forward.3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until
it is at.
If the seatback cannot fold at because it interferes
with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward
and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.
4. Repeat the steps for the other half of the 60/40 split
bench seat.

4. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as
described inRear Seat Passengers on page 1-30.
Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses
the shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the
belt edges together so that you can take them out of the
guides. For the second row, slide the guide onto its
storage clip on the trim panel near the side of the
seatback. For the third row, slide the guide onto its
storage clip on the side of the seatback. Make sure you
remove the comfort guide from the belt before you
fold a rear seat down.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will
order you an extender. It is free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and
use it only for the seat it is made to t. The extender has
been designed for adults. Never use it for securing
child seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety
belt. For more information see the instruction sheet
that comes with the extender.

Midgate (SUT)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo
area covered and the tailgate and the midgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can not see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the cargo
covers on and the tailgate and midgate open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the midgate:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed on the setting
that brings in outside air. This will force
outside air into your vehicle. SeeDual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 3-19.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-39.The midgate allows you to extend the length of your
vehicle’s cargo area into the cab.
Lowering the Midgate
The midgate window must be completely lowered for
the midgate to be lowered. See ”Midgate Window” under
Power Windows on page 2-19.
Both the midgate and the midgate window can be
lowered while the ignition is in either RUN or
ACCESSORY, or while in Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) mode. SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 2-26for more information.

mirrors. The mirror will adjust as it folds in and will
reposition itself once it is unfolded.

they may shake or utter at normal driving speeds
and may not stay in the unfolded position. If this
happens, the mirrors need to be reset. See “Resetting
the Power Folding Mirrors” next.

If you put things inside your vehicle – like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else – they go as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly,
or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
There’s also important loading information for off-road
driving in this manual. See “Loading Your Vehicle
for Off-Road Driving” underOff-Road Driving on
page 4-16.
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need to put
a limit on how many people you can carry inside
your vehicle. Be sure to weigh your vehicle before you
buy and install the new equipment.
Notice:Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn’t
include the weight of the people inside. But you
can gure about 150 lbs. (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
