Reclining Seatbacks
{CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle
is moving. The sudden movement could startle
and confuse you, or make you push a pedal
when you do not want to. Adjust the driver’s
seat only when the vehicle is not moving.
{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
push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.The seats have reclining seatbacks. The lever used to
operate them is located on the outboard side of the
seats. Lift the lever to release the seatback. Move the
seatback to where you want it and release the lever
to lock the seatback in place. Press rearward on
the seatback to be sure it is locked into place.Passenger’s Side Reclining Lever shown, Driver’s

{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.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.

Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is at the same height as the occupant’s head. This
position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.Pull the head restraint up
to raise it. To lower the
head restraint, press
the button, located on the
top of the seatback,
and push the restraint
down. Only the front head
restraints are adjustable.
Both the front and rear head restraints can be removed.
Press the button, located on the top of the seatback,
and pull the restraint out from the seatback. Do not
remove the head restraint if someone will be sitting in
that seat while the vehicle is moving.

Passenger Folding Seatback
Your vehicle has a front passenger seat that folds at.
{CAUTION:
If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer
objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo
is not near an airbag. In a crash, an inating
airbag might force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or even death.
Secure objects away from the area in which an
airbag would inate. For more information,
seeWhere Are the Airbags? on page 1-61and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-32.
{CAUTION:
Things you put on this seatback can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash. Remove or secure all items before
driving.
To fold the seatback, do the following:
1. Move the front passenger seat rearward to ensure
there is enough room to fold the seatback forward.
SeeManual Seats on page 1-2for more
information. The head restraint may need to be
removed if the seat is not able to be moved
fully rearward. If removing the head restraint,
store it so that it will not move while the vehicle is
in motion.
2. Make sure that the seatback is in an upright
position. Use the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat to move the seatback to
the upright position.

3. Use one of two levers to fold the seat at.
The levers are located on the rear of the seat near
the bottom of either side of the seat. Pull up on
either lever and fold the seat forward until the
seatback disengages. This can most easily be down
from the rear seats.4. Continue to fold the seat forward until it locks in the
folded position. Pull up on the seatback to be sure
it is locked.

To raise the seatback to an upright position, do the
following:
1. Pull up on one of the two levers located on the
rear of the seat near the bottom of either side of
the seat.
2. Push the seatback up until it is in a locked position.
{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
push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is
locked.
Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
The seatbacks can be folded at so that they are at the
same level as the rear cargo area. This allows more
cargo space.
To lower the rear seatback(s), do the following:
1. Move the front seat forward and/or put the front
seatback in an upright position so it does not
interfere with folding the rear seatback forward.
2. Open the rear door while the vehicle is parked.
3. The rear head restraint may need to be removed to
ensure that it does not interfere with the front seat
when the front seat is moved back in place.
If removed, store the head restraint where it cannot
move while the vehicle is in motion.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety belts
still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the
safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts
and return them to their normal stowed position
before folding a rear seat.
