WARNING
•The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and be-
ing injured is increased.
•For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat properly. (See
"Seat belts" later in this section.)
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or death
to people and pets.
•Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls or make the
vehicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents.
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of control
of the vehicle.
CAUTION
•When moving the seats forward or
backward, or returning a reclined seat-
back to its upright position, make sure
you hold onto the seatback while oper-
ating. If the seatback is not held, the
seat or seatback may move suddenly
and could cause injury.
•When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

Power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
•The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during the seat adjustment, wait
30 seconds, then reactivate the switch.
•If the seat motor stops during seat adjust-
ment, check for obstructions. Remove the
obstruction before continuing.
•To avoid discharge of the battery, do not
operate the power seats for a long period
of time when the engine is not running.

REAR SEATS
WARNING
•Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury or death 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 colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in
your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat
belt properly.
•Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
•Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
–Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
–Be careful not to allow hands or feet
to get caught or pinched in the seat.
•Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may provide
significant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
•If the head restraints/headrests are re-
moved for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them from
causing injury to passengers or damage
to the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.
•When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an accident
or sudden stop.

Folding
The luggage compartment loading capacity
can be increased by folding the rear seat-
backs forward.
To fold the seatback:
1. Ensure head restraints are properly
stowed, see "Head restraints/Headrests"
later in this section.
2. Move the front driver or passenger seat
forward if necessary.
3. Release the seatback lock by pulling the
release handle as shown.
4. Fold the seatback forward as shown.5. Insert the seat belt into the seat belt
holder as shown.
6. Move the front driver or passenger seat
back if necessary. Avoid contact between
the rear seat and the front seat.
To return the seatback to an upright posi-
tion:
1. Move the front driver or passenger seat
forward if necessary.
2. Make sure the seat belts are clear of the
seatback latch mechanism.
3. Lift the seatback up and push firmly to
lock.
4. If the red marker is visible then the seat-
back has not latched properly — release
and then re-latch the seat.5. If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint/headrest before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. See "Head
restraints/Headrests" later in this section.
WARNING
Always use the seat belt holder, and ensure
that the seat belt is not trapped in the seat-
back latch mechanism. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the seat belt, and this may
increase the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.
