4. Pull out and hold the folding strap.
5. Hold the seat back when you
adjust the seat back angle until it
clicks into place and then release
the folding strap.
Make sure the seatback is locked
in place.
6. Return the rear seat belt to the proper position. When you fold the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatback, insert the buckle
in the pocket between the rear seat-
back and cushion. Doing so can pre-
vent the buckle from being damaged
by the rear seatback.
When returning the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatbacks to the upright
position, remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper posi-
tion. Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is securely
applied whenever loading or unload-
ing cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
WARNING- Cargo
Do not place heavy objects in
the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit vehicle occupants in a
frontal collision.

Safety features of your vehicle
For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height as the cen-
ter of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the center of gravity of
most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.
