Seats and Restraints
Raising the Seatback
{
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
{
Warning
A safety belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.
To raise a seatback:
1. Lift the seatback up. Make sure
the center safety belt and latch
do not get behind the seat.
Push the seatback rearward to
lock it in place.
A red tab near the seatback
lever retracts when the
seatback is locked in place.
2. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
3. Reconnect the center safety
belt mini-latch to the
mini-buckle. Do not let the belt
twist.
4. Pull on the center safety belt to
make sure the mini-latch is
secure.
5. Repeat the steps to raise the
other seatback, if necessary.
When the seat is not in use, it
should be kept in the upright, locked
position.
Rear Seats
Folding the Seatback
Either side of the seatback can be
folded for more cargo space. Fold a
seatback only when the vehicle is
not moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.
