To raise the rear seatback, lift it up and push rearward
until you hear a click. Push and pull on the seatback to
be sure it is locked into place.
{
WARNING:
If the seatback is not locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
pull forward on the top of the seatback at the area
of the latch to be sure it is 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.
Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This section of the manual describes how to use safety
belts properly. It also describes some things not to do
with safety belts.
{
WARNING:
Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt
cannot be worn properly. In a crash, if you or
your passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts,
the injuries can be much worse. You can hit things
inside the vehicle harder or be ejected from
the vehicle. You and your passenger(s) can be
seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you
might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten
your safety belt, and check that your passenger(s)
are restrained properly too.
