Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position

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)

62 Seats and Restraints
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
058.
Press and hold the release
button while raising or
lowering the height adjuster to
the desired position.
After the height adjuster is set
to the desired position, try to
move it down without pressing
the release button to make
sure it has locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt
pretensioners for the front
outboard occupants. Although
the seat belt pretensioners
cannot be seen, they are part
of the seat belt assembly.

of the vehicle.
2. Push the head restraint down. If necessary, press
the height adjustment
release button to further
lower the head restraint.
See Head Restraints 045.
3. Try to move the head restraint to make sure that
it is locked in place.
Replacing LATCH
System Parts After a
Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the
vehicle. A damaged LATCH
system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly
after a crash, see your
dealer to have the system
inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH
system and it was being used
during a crash, new LATCH
system parts may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child
restraint with the seat belts in
a rear seat position, study the
instructions that came with
the child restraint to make
sure it is compatible with this
vehicle.
If the child restraint has the
LATCH system, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 086
for how and where to install
the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a
seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 086 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether
anchor if a national or local law
requires that the top tether be
