3-6 Seats and Restraints
Front Seat Armrest
There is an armrest on the inboard
side of the driver seat. To raise or
lower the armrest, push up or pull
down on the armrest.
Folding Seatback The front passenger seatback may
fold flat. { WarningIf you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on
page 3-17 and Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9-9 .
{ Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving. { CautionFolding a 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 seat.
To fold the seatback:
1. Lower the head restraint all the
way. See Head Restraints on
page 3-2 .
2. Move the seat as far back as
possible. See Seat Adjustment
on page 3-3 .

3-12 Seats and Restraints
To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt
height adjuster for the driver.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 3-9 .
To adjust, pull out the adjustment
button (1) and move the height
adjuster (2) to the desired position
so the belt passes over the center of
the shoulder. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but
not falling off your shoulder. Release the adjustment button (1) to
lock the shoulder belt height
adjuster into position.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, make sure it is
locked in place. Try to move the
height adjuster up or down without
pulling out on the button (1).
Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
belts during certain types of frontal
crashes if the threshold conditions
for pretensioner activation are met.
Safety belt pretensioners can also
help tighten the safety belts in a
side crash or rollover event.
When a pretensioner activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise
may be heard. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire.

3-36 Seats and Restraints .
Check the booster seat in your
vehicle to be sure it is
compatible with the vehicle ’ s
seat and safety belt system. .
Make sure the child ’ s head will
be properly supported by the
booster seat or vehicle seat. The
seatback must be at or above
the center of the child ’ s ears. For
example, if a low back booster
seat is chosen, the vehicle
seatback must be at or above
the center of the child ’ s ears.
If the seatback is lower than the
center of the child ’ s ears, a high
back booster seat should
be used. .
If the booster seat is compatible
with your vehicle, place the child
in the booster seat and check
the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is
compatible with the child.
Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian
provinces or territories require that
infants and small children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the
vehicle is being operated.
The instructions in this section apply
to booster seat installation in the
front passenger seat. See “ Securing
a Booster Seat ” under Securing
Child Restraints on page 3-42 .
Securing an Add-On Child
Restraint in the Vehicle
{ WarningA child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly secured in
the vehicle. Secure the child
restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle safety belt or
LATCH system, following the
instructions that came with that
child restraint and the instructions
in this manual. To help reduce the chance of injury,
the child restraint must be secured
in the vehicle. Child restraint
systems must be secured in vehicle
seats by lap belts or the lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by
the LATCH system. See Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 3-38 .
Children can be endangered in a
crash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child
restraint, refer to the instructions
that come with the restraint which
may be on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both, and to this manual.
The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not
available, obtain a replacement
copy from the manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured
child restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in
the vehicle — even when no child is
in it.

Seats and Restraints 3-45To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
Securing a Booster Seat
{ WarningDo not use the child restraint
locking feature when using a
booster seat with the safety belts.
Follow these steps to install a
booster seat in the front
passenger seat:
1. If you must install a booster seat
in the front seat, move the seat
to the rear-most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the
seat. Only place it in a
front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat
manufacturer ’ s instructions. 3. The booster seat should be
positioned on the vehicle seat so
that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove
the head restraint to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the
head restraint is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint when
the booster seat is removed. For
more information, see Head
Restraints on page 3-2 for head
restraint adjustment, removal,
and installation information.
If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head
restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try a
different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the
safety belt low and snug on the
child ’ s hips. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer ’ s
instructions for adjusting the
safety belt routing. 5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of
the safety belt toward the
retractor to take up the extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child ’ s
shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer ’ s
instructions for adjusting the
safety belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions,
and instructions for properly
fastening a safety belt. See
Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 3-10 .
