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 return the seatback to the upright
position:
1. Lift the seatback up and push it
back into place.
2. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
3. Make sure the safety belts are
not twisted or caught in the
seatback.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the
other seatback, if necessary.
When the seatback is not in use, it
should be kept in the upright, locked
position.
Reclining the Seatback
To recline the seatback:
1. Lift and hold the lever on top of
the seatback.
2. Tilt the seatback rearward, and
then release the lever.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the
other seatback, if desired.

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, injuries can be much
worse than if you are wearing
safety belts. You can be seriously
injured or killed by hitting things
inside the vehicle harder or by
being ejected from the vehicle. In
addition, anyone who is not
buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. In a collision,
