Seats and Seat ControlsThis part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them,and also about reclining front seatbacks, head restraints,easy entry seats and the folding rear seatback.Manual Front SeatCAUTION:You can lose control of the vehicle if you try toadjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle ismoving. The sudden movement could startle andconfuse you, or make you push a pedal when youdon’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only whenthe vehicle is not moving.1-2
Reclining Front SeatbacksLift the lever located under the front seat to unlock it.Slide the seat to where you want it and release the lever.Then try to move the seat with your body to make surethe seat is locked into place.To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the outboard sideof the seat cushion. Release the lever to lock theseatback where you want it. Pull up on the lever, and theseat will go to its original upright position.1-3
CAUTION:But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicleis moving.1-4Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle isin motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckleup, your safety belts can’t do their job whenyou’re reclined like this.The shoulder belt can’t do its job because itwon’t be against your body. Instead, it will be infront of you. In a crash you could go into it,receiving neck or other injuries.The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash thebelt could go up over your abdomen. The beltforces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.This could cause serious internal injuries.For proper protection when the vehicle is inmotion, have the seatback upright. Then sitwell back in the seat and wear your safetybelt properly.
Head RestraintsSlide the head restraint up or down so that the top of therestraint is closest to the top of your ears. This positionreduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.The head restraint can be adjusted to four positions.To raise the restraint, pull up on the restraint. To lowerthe restraint, push in the release button while you pushdown on the restraint.1-5
Easy Entry Seats (2-Door)CAUTION:If any easy entry seat isn’t locked, it can move.In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting therecould be injured. And, even if there is no crash orsudden stop, a driver sitting in an unlocked easyentry seat could be startled by the suddenmovement and hit the wrong control or pedal,causing an accident. After you’ve used it, be sureto push rearward on any easy entry seat to besure it is locked.The front seats of your vehicle make it easy to get in andout of the rear seat.D When you pull up on the recliner release lever, theseatback will tilt forward and the whole seat canslide forward when pushed by hand.D After someone gets into the rear seat area, move theseat rearward until it locks. Then move the seatbackto its original position.1-6
Rear SeatsCAUTION:D To get out, push the release pedal on the rear of thepassenger’s side front seat. Then tilt the seatbackforward, and slide the whole seat forward.If a head restraint is not installed on the seatbackor stored in the vehicle properly, it could bethrown about the vehicle in a crash or suddenmaneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured.Remove the head restraints only when you needto fold the seat, and be sure that the headrestraints are stored securely in the top of thefolded seat bottom. When the seat is returned tothe passenger position, be sure the headrestraints are installed properly.1-7
Folding the Rear SeatbackThe rear seat in your vehicle folds to provide more cargospace. To fold the rear seats do the following:2. Pull the release straps located near the center of thevehicle to release the seat cushion. Fold the seatcushion forward.1. Fold the safety belt buckles and center safety belt(if equipped) into the pocket of the rear seatback.1-8
4. Store the head restraintin the top of the foldedseat cushion.3. Remove the head restraint from the seatbackby raising the head restraint fully. Push therelease button and remove the head restraint fromthe seatback.5. Pull up on the seatbackrelease knob(s) on top ofthe seatback and fold theseatback down.On 2-door models, youmust pull up on bothrelease knobs at thesame time to lowerthe seatback.1-9
To raise the rear seat do the following:Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone1. Fold the rear seatback up. Push and pull on theseatback to ensure it’s locked in position.This part of the manual tells you how to use safety beltsproperly. It also tells you some things you should not dowith safety belts.2. Reinstall the head restraint by inserting it into theseatback. Make sure the head restraint is secure inthe seatback.3. Fold the seat cushion back and make sure it is lockedinto position.4. Remove the safety belt buckles and center safety belt(4-door models) from the seatback pocket.And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System(SRS), or air bag system.CAUTION:Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t weara safety belt properly. If you are in a crash andyou’re not wearing a safety belt, your injuriescan be much worse. You can hit things inside thevehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriouslyinjured or killed. In the same crash, you mightnot be if you are buckled up. Always fasten yoursafety belt, and check that your passengers’ beltsare fastened properly too.1-10
In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says towear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.CAUTION:It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,people riding in these areas are more likely to beseriously injured or killed. Do not allow people toride in any area of your vehicle that is notequipped with seats and safety belts. Be sureeveryone in your vehicle is in a seat and using asafety belt properly.You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have acrash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be soserious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.But most crashes are in between. In many of them,people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walkaway. Without belts they could have been badly hurtor killed.After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles,the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up doesmatter . a lot!Your vehicle has a light thatcomes on as a reminder tobuckle up. See “SafetyBelt Reminder Light” inthe Index.1-11
Why Safety Belts WorkWhen you ride in or on anything, you go as fast asit goes.Put someone on it.Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seaton wheels.1-12
Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The riderdoesn’t stop.The person keeps going until stopped by something.In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield .1-13
or the instrument panel .or the safety belts!With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s whysafety belts make such good sense.1-14
Here Are Questions Many People AskAbout Safety Belts -- and the AnswersQ: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after anaccident if I’m wearing a safety belt?A:You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safetybelt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt,even if you’re upside down. And your chance ofbeing conscious during and after an accident, soyou can unbuckle and get out, is much greater ifyou are belted.Q:If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have towear safety belts?A:Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be inmost of them in the future. But they aresupplemental systems only; so they work withsafety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bagsystem ever offered for sale has required the use ofsafety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has airbags, you still have to buckle up to get the mostprotection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,but especially in side and other collisions.Q:If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far fromhome, why should I wear safety belts?A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in anaccident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you andyour passengers can be hurt. Being a good driverdoesn’t protect you from things beyond yourcontrol, such as bad drivers.Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) ofhome. And the greatest number of seriousinjuries and deaths occur at speeds of lessthan 40 mph (65 km/h).Safety belts are for everyone.1-15
How to Wear Safety Belts ProperlyAdultsThis part is only for people of adult size.Be aware that there are special things to know aboutsafety belts and children. And there are differentrules for smaller children and babies. If a child willbe riding in your vehicle, see the part of thismanual called “Children.” Follow those rules foreveryone’s protection.First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems yourvehicle has.We’ll start with the driver position.Driver PositionThis part describes the driver’s restraint system.Lap-Shoulder BeltThe driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wearit properly.1. Close and lock the door.2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.1-163. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.Don’t let it get twisted.The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt acrossyou very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go backslightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across youmore slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety BeltExtender” at the end of this section.Make sure the release button on the buckle ispositioned so you would be able to unbuckle thesafety belt quickly if you ever had to.The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug onthe hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this appliesforce to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likelyto slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the beltwould apply force at your abdomen. This could causeserious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should goover the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of thebody are best able to take belt restraining forces.5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckleend of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt.The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or crash, orif you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.1-17
Shoulder Belt Height AdjusterBefore you begin to drive, move the shoulder beltadjuster to the height that is right for you.To move it down, pull out the knob and move the heightadjuster to the desired position. You can move theadjuster up just by pulling out the knob and sliding theadjuster up. After you move the adjuster to where youwant it, try to move it down without pulling out theknob to make sure it has locked into position.Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of thebelt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should beaway from your face and neck, but not falling offyour shoulder.1-18
Q:What’s wrong with this?CAUTION:You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt istoo loose. In a crash, you would move forwardtoo much, which could increase injury. Theshoulder belt should fit against your body.A:The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearlyas much protection this way.1-19
Q:What’s wrong with this?CAUTION:You can be seriously injured if your belt isbuckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash,the belt would go up over your abdomen. Thebelt forces would be there, not at the pelvicbones. This could cause serious internal injuries.Always buckle your belt into the bucklenearest you.A:The belt is buckled in the wrong place.1-20
Q:What’s wrong with this?CAUTION:You can be seriously injured if you wear theshoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, yourbody would move too far forward, which wouldincrease the chance of head and neck injury.Also, the belt would apply too much force to theribs, which aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.You could also severely injure internal organslike your liver or spleen.A:The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It shouldbe worn over the shoulder at all times.1-21
Q:What’s wrong with this?CAUTION:You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. Ina crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of thebelt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted,make it straight so it can work properly, or askyour dealer to fix it.A:The belt is twisted across the body.1-22
Safety Belt Use During PregnancySafety belts work for everyone, including pregnantwomen. Like all occupants, they are more likely to beseriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts.To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.The belt should go back out of the way.Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of theway.
