WARNING
.Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined. This
can be dangerous. The shoulder belt
will not be against your body. In an
accident, you could be thrown into it
and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat
properly. See “PRECAUTIONS ON
SEAT BELT USAGE” later in this
section.
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or da-
mages.

seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section.) Also, the seatback
can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when
the vehicle is stopped and the transmission in
the P (Park) position with the parking brake fully
applied.

Front power seat adjustmentOperating tips:
.The seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait for a while, then reactivate
the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat for a long
period of time when the engine is off. This
will discharge the battery.

WARNING
.If you fold the front passenger’s
seatback down to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might
force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or
even death. Secure objects away
from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. See “PRECAUTIONS
ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM” later in this section.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passen-
ger’s seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas
by passengers could result in ser-
ious injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
SSS0797
REAR SEATS
FoldingBefore folding the rear seats:
.Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” later
in this section.)
. Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and store
the connector and seat belt tongues into the
retractor base on the ceiling. (See “Rear
center seat belt” later in this section.)
To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the adjusting knob
*A
. To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
WARNING
.
Do not use the rear seat belts when
the buckles are stowed in the seat
pockets. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any objects are on the rear
seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-

cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other
vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraints properly, as specified in
this section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint
has been removed. If the head restraint
was removed, install and properly ad-
just the head restraint before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions can reduce
the effectiveness of the head restraints. This may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.

straints are adjustable.
