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.(Continued)

Rear Seats
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. Select Settings > Rear
Seat Reminder > ON or OFF.

Seatbacks

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. 1. Place the front seatbacks
in the upright position. See
Reclining Seatbacks 047.
2. Lower the rear head restraint. See Head

tab near the seatback
lever moves forward when
the seatback is unlocked.

good sense.
Questions and Answers
About Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in thevehicle after a crash if I am
wearing a seat belt?
A: You could be —whether you
are wearing a seat belt or
not. Your chance of being
conscious during and after a
crash, so you can unbuckle
and get out, is much greater
if you are belted.
Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear
seat belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental
systems only. They work
with seat belts —not
instead of them. Whether or
not an airbag is provided, all
occupants still have to
buckle up to get the most
protection. Also, in nearly all states and
in all Canadian provinces,
the law requires wearing
seat belts.
How to Wear Seat
Belts Properly
Follow these rules for
everyone's protection.
There are additional things to
know about seat belts and
children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child
will be riding in the vehicle, see
Older Children
079 or
Infants and Young Children
0 80. Review and follow the
rules for children in addition to
the following rules.
It is very important for all
occupants to buckle up.
Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.
There are important things to
know about wearing a seat
belt properly.
.Sit up straight and always
keep your feet on the floor in
front of you (if possible).
.Wear the lap part of the belt
low and snug on the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones and
you would be less likely to
slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
.Wear the shoulder belt over
the shoulder and across the
chest. These parts of the
