Rear Seat Reminder
If equipped, the message REAR SEAT
REMINDER LOOK IN REAR SEAT
displays under certain conditions
indicating there may be an item or
passenger in the rear seat. Check
before exiting the vehicle.
This feature will activate when a
second row door is opened while the
vehicle is on or up to 10 minutes
before the vehicle is turned on. There
will be an alert when the vehicle is
turned off. The alert does not directly
detect objects in the rear seat; instead,
under certain conditions, it detects
when a rear door is opened and
closed, indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by
opening and closing the second row
doors. There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the rear seat;
for example, if a child entered the vehicle through the rear door and left
the vehicle without the vehicle being
shut off.
The feature can be turned on or off.
See
Vehicle Personalization 0147.

space. Fold a seatback only when the
vehicle is not moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the seat
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the seat
belts. Always unbuckle the seat
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.

seriously injured or killed by hitting
things inside the vehicle harder or
by being ejected from the vehicle.
In addition, anyone who is not
buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.

behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them. Pull
the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock, and
tighten the belt behind the child
restraint after the child restraint

This may damage these parts.
If necessary, move buckled seat
belts to avoid rubbing the LATCH
attachments.
Do not fold the rear seatback when
the seat is occupied. Do not fold the
empty rear seat with a seat belt
buckled. This could damage the
seat belt or the seat. Unbuckle and
return the seat belt to its stowed
position, before folding the seat.If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint

restraints using the LATCH anchors in
the rear seat at the same time, but
you can install two of them. If you
want to do this, install one LATCH
child restraint in the right rear seating
position, and install the other one
either in the left rear seating position
or in the center seating position.
If you need to install child restraints
in both the center and left rear seating
positions, the one in the center
seating position will need to be
secured using the vehicle seat belts
instead of the LATCH anchors.

learn which anchors to use.
There are five lower LATCH anchors
in the rear seat.
. Use anchors 1 and 2 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in the right rear seating
position.
. Use anchors 3 and 4 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in the center rear seating
position.
. Use anchors 4 and 5 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in the left rear seating
position.
