{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 top of
the occupant’s head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.

The height of the head restraints can be adjusted
on the rst and second row seats. Pull the
head restraint up or push it down to adjust it.
The head restraints on the third row seat cannot
be adjusted.
Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and
straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall
the seats. By using the levers and straps in the
correct order, you can easily remove the seats
from the vehicle. If your vehicle has second row
captain chairs with airbags, the seats cannot
be removed.
When reinstalling the seats, make sure the seats
are in the proper positions.
If your vehicle has a second row center console, it
can be removed. SeeSecond Row Center
Console on page 171. Do not put a seat in the
center position because the safety belt cannot be
worn properly in this position. SeeSafety Belts:
They Are for Everyone on page 32.
Bucket Seats
Your vehicle may have bucket seats in the second
row. These seats can be adjusted several
different ways.

stop or crash. Be sure to return the seat

locked into place.
