Reinstalling the Bucket Seats
{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 installing the seat,
always check to be sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not install the seat facing the rear of the vehicle, as
it will not lock into place. If more storage room is
needed behind the seat, slide the seat forward.
1-12

Make sure the seat is in the full rear position before
beginning this procedure.
To reinstall the bucket seats:
1. With the seat folded, squeeze the angled bar
beneath the seat toward the straight crossbar, while
placing the front hooks of the seat into the front
two oor pins.
2. Make sure the seat is
angled so that the front
seat hooks clear the
oor pins. If the front
hooks are not attached
correctly, the seat’s rear
hooks will not attach
to the rear set of
oor pins.
If the front hooks are not attaching correctly, check
that the seat is in the full rear position.3. Firmly push the rear seat hooks into the rear oor
pins by pushing down the rear of the seat.
{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.
4. Check that the seat is locked by trying to raise
the seat.

without applying pressure to the seatback. Push and
pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety belts
still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the
safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts
and return them to their normal stowed position
before folding a rear seat.
To fold the seatback forward, lift up fully on the recliner
lever. Push the seatback forward until it is at.
The armrests can be lowered or raised for easier entry
or exit of the vehicle. If your vehicle has captain
chairs with side impact airbags, they will have one
armrest on the inboard side.

airbags, the seats cannot be removed. SeeWhere Are
the Airbags? on page 1-80for more information.

Installing a Captain Chair
(without a Side Impact Airbag)
{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 installing the seat,
always check to be sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
Do not put the seats in so they face rearward because
they will not latch that way. For the second row, if
you want more storage room behind the seat, adjust the
seat by sliding it forward.
Make sure the seatbacks are in the upright position,
the seat belts are on the correct side of the seats and
the seats are in the full rear position before beginning

Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This section of the manual describes how to use
safety belts properly. It also describes some things not
to do with safety belts.
{CAUTION:
Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot
be worn properly. In a crash, if you or your
passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts, the
injuries can be much worse. You can hit things
inside the vehicle harder or be ejected from the
vehicle. You and your passenger(s) 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 passenger(s)
are restrained 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.
This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to buckle the
safety belts. SeeSafety Belt Reminders on page 3-32
for additional information.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle have a
lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can
sit up straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulled
out all the way, the child restraint locking feature
may be engaged. If this happens, let the belt
go back all the way and start again.
Engaging the child restraint locking feature in the
right front seating position may affect the passenger
sensing system. SeePassenger Sensing System
on page 1-85for more information.3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt
Extender on page 1-42.
Position the release button on the buckle so that
the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster,
move it to the height that is right for you. See
“Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment” later in this
section for instructions on use and important safety
information.
