Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the seat belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will
be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
seat belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
Manual Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
To adjust a manual seatback:1. Lift the lever. The seatback will automatically
fold forward.
2. To recline, move the seatback rearward to the desired
position, then release the lever
to lock the seatback in place.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.

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.
SeeVehicle Personalization 0165.
Folding the Rear Seat
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.
To fold the seat:1. Pull up on the front of the seat cushion while pulling down on
the release strap loop under
the seat cushion.
2. Pull the seat cushion up until it latches with the seatback.
3. Pull forward on the seat cushion to make sure it is
locked in place. To unfold the seat:
1. Push the seat cushion rearward while pulling the
release strap loop under the
seat cushion. Pull the seat
cushion down until it latches.
2. Pull up on the seat cushion to make sure it is locked in place.
Make sure the seat belts are
not twisted or caught in the
seat cushion.
{Warning
A seat 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 raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the seat belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.

104 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured
or strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked.
The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when the
shoulder belt is allowed to go all
the way back into the retractor,
but it cannot do this if it is
wrapped around a child’s neck.
If the shoulder belt is locked and
tightened around a child’s neck,
the only way to loosen the belt is
to cut it.
Buckle any unused seat belts
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 has been installed.
Caution
Do not let the LATCH
attachments rub against the
vehicle’s seat belts. 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 098.
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not
use the vehicle's belts. Instead use
the vehicle's anchors and child
restraint attachments to secure the restraints. Some restraints also use
another vehicle anchor to secure a
top tether.
Regular Cab Models
1. For models without a rear seat, forward-facing child restraints
should only be installed in the
right front seating position with
belts and a top tether. See
Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Center
Front Seat) 0114 orSecuring
Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Passenger
Seat) 0115 orSecuring Child
Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Rear Seat) 0111.
If the child restraint
manufacturer recommends that
the top tether be attached,
attach and tighten the top
tether to the top tether anchor,
if your vehicle has one. Refer
to the child restraint
instructions and the following
steps:

1.2. Find the top tether anchor.
1.3. Remove the cover to expose the anchor.
1.4. Route, attach, and tighten the top tether according
to your child restraint
instructions and the
following instructions:If the position you are
using has an adjustable
head restraint and you
are using a dual tether,
route the tether around
the head restraint.
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
head restraint and you
are using a single tether,
raise the head restraint
and route the tether
under the head restraint
and in between the head
restraint posts. 2. Secure the child restraint in the
right front seating position with
the vehicle belts. See Securing
Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Center Front Seat)

3. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. There should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement for proper
installation.
