WARNING
- Driver’s seat
 Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
 Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
(Continued)
For a seating position more comfort-
able to the driver and front passen-
ger, adjust the seat forward, back-
ward, up and down.✽ ✽NOTICE• Power seats are driven by the elec-
tric motor. Stop operating if the
adjustment is completed. Excessive
operation may damage the electri-
cal equipment.
• When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts of
electrical power. To prevent unnec-
essary charging system drain,
don’t adjust the power seats longer
than necessary while the engine is
not running.
• Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the same
time. Doing so may result in power
seat motor or electrical component
malfunction.
WARNING
 Loose objects in the driver ’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot ped-
als, possibly causing an acci-
dent. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism. Do not place any-
thing under the front seats.
 The power seats are operable
with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
car.

death, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel so that your chest is
away at least 10 inches (250

WARNING
Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’ s hips may
slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen or neck. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could
result. Keep the seatbacks in a
comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. Proper use of the safety belts
decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops.
In most states, and in Canada, the
law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts.
Inertial locks in the safety belt retrac-
tors allow all of the lap/shoulder safe-
ty belts to remain unlocked during
normal vehicle operation. This allows
the occupants some freedom of
movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force
is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts.Since the inertial locks do not require
a collision in order to lock up, you
may become aware of the safety
belts locking while braking or going
around sharp corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger position, as an
inflating air bag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
WARNING
- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
should use the appropriate
safety restraints for their age
and size. The presence of air
bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a
safety belt or size-appropriate
child restraint. In fact, air bags
are designed to work the best
when passengers are correctly
restrained in the vehicle. Be
sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints. Read
the safety warnings on the sun
visors of your vehicle also.

The rear safety belts use a special
auto-lock feature designed to allow a
child restraint to be used in these
positions without an added locking
clip. They normally lock only under
extreme or emergency conditions
(emergency lock mode). However
they can be adjusted so that they
remain in fixed and locked when a
child restraint system is placed in
these positions. (Use this auto-lock
mode only to secure a child restraint,
never for passengers restrained by
the safety belts.) Page 3-53 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt
in the auto lock mode.
The drivers safety belt can only oper-
ate in the emergency lock mode. Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
 The seatback is upright.
 The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
 The lap belt is snug across the hips.
 The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
 The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come
on and a chime will sound. See
Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime
on page 3-42.
WARNING
- After a colli- sion
 Lap/shoulder belt assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress
and forces of a collision.
 The entire restraint system
should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retrac-
tors, anchors and hardware
damaged by a collision should
be replaced before the vehicle
is operated again.
