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.

{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, see
Where Are the Airbags? on page 74and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 269.
{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 8for 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:

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.
