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 seat 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 seat belts are properly routed and
attached, and are not twisted.
{
Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that occupants will suffer
a neck/spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and adjusted
properly.
To return the rear seats to the normal
seating position:
1. Move the seat belt out of the way by
putting the seat belts into the belt guide
on the trim.
The seat belt should not cross the
seatback locking mechanism when raising
the seatback.
2. Lift the seatback up slightly and reinstall
the head restraint. See
