{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.

the lap-shoulder belts on the bench seat to

tip of a key into the
release hole of the
safety belt buckle
while pulling up on
the safety belt.2. Locate the pins. There are two pins located
on the inboard sides of the rear seats. If the
vehicle has floor mats, the pins will be located
under a flap that has been cut into the mat.

black “L” marked on it.

•The passenger’s side pin has a black cap
with a white “R” marked on it.
3. Pull the pin handle up to disengage the pin
from the retaining clip, then pull the pin out.
4. Repeat this procedure for the pin on the other
seat base.
5. Pull the seat rearward about 2 inches (5 cm)
and then lift the seat from the floor rails.

rear seat, stow the
safety belt latch by
attaching the clip on
the safety belt latch
to the trim just inside
the side door.
For the remaining rear seats, stow the safety
belt latch plate on the clip at the window trim.

Replacing the Rear Seats
{CAUTION:
A seat that is not locked into place
properly can move around in a collision
or sudden stop. People in the vehicle
could be injured. Be sure to lock the seat
into place properly when installing it.
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed,
not properly attached, or twisted will not
provide the protection needed in a crash.
The person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the rear
seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and
attached, and are not twisted.
1. Position the seat into the open slots in both
rails. Push the seat forward in the rail,
hooking both seat bases onto the pins inside
of the rails.
2. To install the locking pins at the rear of the
seat base, locate the hole in the rail for the
pin. It is found on the inboard side of the seat.
If the vehicle has floor mats, pull the flap
that has been cut into the mat.

3. Insert the locking pin into the seat base and
push the seat to line up with the pin with the
base. The pin with the black cap marked “R”
must be installed on the passenger’s side and
the pin with the gray cap marked “L” on the
driver’s side.
4. Push the pin with the black cap marked “R”
down until it is in the retaining clip.5. Push the pin with the gray cap marked “L”
down until it is in the retaining clip.
6. If the vehicle has a floor mat, put the flap
back to its original position.
7. Repeat this procedure for the other seat base.
8. Connect the quick-release latch plates for
the lap-shoulder belts by inserting the latch
plates into the buckles attached at the
outboard positions of the bench seat.
Do not twist the belt.
9. Check that all locking pins are locked into
place before operating the vehicle.

Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use
safety belts properly. It also tells you some things
you should not do with safety belts.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where he or she
cannot wear a safety belt properly. If you
are in a crash and you are not wearing a
safety belt, your injuries can be much
worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be
seriously injured or killed. In the same
crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety
belt, and check that your passengers’
belts are fastened properly too.
{CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has indicators to remind you and your
passengers to buckle your safety belts. SeeSafety
Belt Reminder Light on page 168andPassenger
Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 169.
