head, hands or other body parts are
trapped by a closing window. Al-
ways check for obstructions before
raising any window.
o NEVER leave the ignition key in the
vehicle.
o NEVER leave any child unattended
in the vehicle. Even very young
children may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle them-
selves in the windows, or otherwise
injure themselves or others.

done, the window will stop and can-
not be opened or closed.

NOTE:The power windows can be operated for
30 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" posi-
tions, or removed from the ignition
switch. If the front doors are opened
during this 30 second period, the power
windows can no longer be operated with-
out the ignition key turned to the "ON"
position.
In order to prevent operation of the pas-
senger front (4/3 Door) and rear windows
(4Door), a window lock switch(2) is pro-
vided on the armrest of the driver's door.

To recline the seatback, lean forward to
take your weight off it, then pull up on the
recliner control lever at the outside edge
of the seat. Now lean back until the de-
sired seatback angle is achieved. To lock
the seatback into position, release the
recliner control lever.
!
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv-
ers and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.

the risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower
the headrest, push it down while press-
ing the lock knob. To remove the head-
rest, raise it as far as it can go then press
the lock knob while pulling upward. This
should only be done when the seat is not
occupied.

WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height as the
top of the occupant's eyes. The use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury
to an occupant may occur in the
event of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against severe
neck injuries when properly adjusted.

B110A01MC-AATFolding Rear Seatbacks (4Door)The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer
objects than could otherwise be accom-
modated.
Never allow passengers to sit on top of
the folded down seat back while the car
is moving as this is not a proper seating
position and no seat belts are available
for use. This could result in serious in-
jury or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not extend
higher than the top of the front seats.
This could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.
To fold down the seatback :1. Slide forward and upright the front
seats before folding down.
2. Lower the headrests to the lowest
position.

der belt from being damaged while

tool into the groove located on the

chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.

B230D07E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "ISOFIX" SystemSome child seat manufacturers make
safety seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible child seats. These
seats include two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two
ISOFIX anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child
seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat in the rear seats.
