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.

Adjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (
➀). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (
➁) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (➂). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as
high as your ears. Also adjust the
headrest so its distance from the
head is as wide as your fist.
WARNING
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined,
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.

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 airbag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
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 3-49 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.

Lap/shoulder beltTo fasten the front lap/shoulder
belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue
plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt out from the retractor. 3. Insert the tongue plate (
➀) into the
open end of the buckle (➁) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating
the belt is locked in the buckle. 4. Position the lap portion (
➀) of the
belt across your lap as LOW ON
THE HIPS as possible to reduce
the risk of sliding under it during
an accident. Adjust the belt to a
SNUG FIT by pulling up on the
shoulder portion (
➁) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed
to take up excess webbing auto-
matically and to maintain tension
on the belt. For your safety, do not
put any excess slack into the safe-
ty belt at any location.

WARNING
 The seatbacks should always
remain in a comfortable,
upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The safe-
ty belt system will provide the
most protection with the seat-
backs in an upright position.
 Never wear the shoulder por- tion of the safety belt under
the outside arm or behind the
back.
 Never wear the shoulder por- tion of the safety belt across
the neck or face.
 Wear the lap portion of the safety belt as low on the hips
as possible. Be sure the lap
belt fits snugly around the
hips. Never wear the lap belt
over your waist.
