WAB0132X
Before folding the rear seats
.Secure the outer seat belt on the seat
belt hook. (See “Seat belt hook” (P.1-
19).)
. If the rear seat is equipped with the
head restraints/headrests, slide the
front seat forward to make enough
room behind the seat so that the rear
seatback can be folded flat.
. Remove drink containers from the
rear cup holder.
To fold down the seatback

To return the seatback
To return the rear seatback, raise the
seatback until it latches.
When returning the seatback, make sure
that the seat belt is not interfering with
the seatback latch mechanism.
WARNING
.Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. In a collision, people
riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
. 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. Al-
ways replace and adjust them
properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
. If the head restraints/headrests
are removed for any reason, they
should be securely stored to pre-
vent 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 position. If they are
not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
WARNING
.
After adjustment, gently rock in
the seat to make sure it is se-
curely locked.
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined.
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. (See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-13).)

ARMREST
Pull the armrest down as shown.
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems.
They may provide additional protec-
tion against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjustable head re-
straints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the head restraint/head-
rest stalks or remove the head re-
straint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has
been removed. If the head restraint/
headrest was removed, reinstall and
properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses
the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk
of serious injury or death in a colli-
sion.

allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor. Cargo that is not
properly secured or cargo that con-
tacts the top tether strap may da-
mage the top tether strap during acollision. If the cargo cover (if so
equipped) contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo
cover from the vehicle. If the cargo
cover is not removed, it may damage
the top tether strap during a colli-
sion. Your child could be seriously

Top tether anchor point locations
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a

4. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm),
from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the LATCH attach-
ment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable). Not all child restraints fit
