44 Seats and Restraints
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 Personalization0124.
Rear Seat Adjustment
The second row seats slide forward for
more room.
To adjust the seat position:
1. Remove objects on the floor in front of or on the second row seat, or in the seat
tracks on the floor.
2. Lift the lever below the seat cushion and slide the seat forward or backward.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to ensure the seat is locked in place.
Entering and Exiting the Third Row
{Warning
Using the third row seating position
while the second row is folded, or folded
and tumbled, could cause injury in a
sudden stop or crash. Be sure to return
the seat to the passenger seating
position. Push and pull on the seat to
make sure it is locked into place.
{Warning

locked, the seat could move forward in a
sudden stop or crash and injure the
occupant. Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure the seatback and
floor latches are locked.
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 access the third row from the driver side: 1. Remove objects on the floor in front of or on the second row seat, or in the seat
tracks on the floor.
2. Make sure that the seat belt is unfastened and in the stowed position.

3. Push the latch plate into the buckle untilit clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure. If the belt is not long
enough, see Seat Belt Extender 054.
Position the release button on the buckle
so that the seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster, move it to the height that is
right for you. See “Shoulder Belt Height
Adjuster” later in this section for
instructions on use and important safety
information.5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the button on the
buckle. The belt should return to its stowed
position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat
belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may lock and cannot
be pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to unlock the
webbing, and then release it. If the webbing
is still locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.
Before a door is closed, be sure the seat belt
is out of the way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage can occur to
both the seat belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder and
not falling off of it. The belt should be close
to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment could
reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in a
crash. See How to Wear Seat Belts Properly
