REAR SEAT ADJUSTMENT

Folding

1. Remove the rear seat cup holder from the

center console.

2. Secure the seat belt on the clip.

3. Remove the head restraints. (The removed

head restraints can be stored on the reclining

lock plate.)

4. Pull the strap forward and bring up the seat

cushion.

5. After removing the tonneau cover (if so

equipped) from each rear seatback, pull up

the knob and fold the seatback down.

6. When resetting the seat, be sure to install the

head restraints.

WARNING

쐌 Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seat when it

is in the fold-down position. Use of

these areas by passengers without

proper restraints could result in seri-

ous injury in an accident or sudden

stop.

쐌 It is extremely dangerous to ride in a

cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a

collision, people riding in these areas

are more likely to be seriously in-

jured or killed.

쐌 Do not allow people to ride in any

area of your vehicle that is not

equipped with seats and seat

belts. Be sure everyone in your ve-

hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt

properly.

쐌 Do not fold down the rear seats when

occupants are in the rear seat area or

any luggage is on the rear seat.

쐌 Head restraints should be adjusted

properly as they may provide signifi-

cant protection against injury in an

accident. Always replace and adjust

them properly if they have been re-

moved for any reason.

쐌 If the head restraints are removed for

any reason, they should be securely

stored to prevent them from causing

injury to passengers or damage to

the vehicle in case of sudden braking

or an accident.

쐌 Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

backs. In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause per-

sonal injury.

쐌 When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are

completely secured in the latched po-

sition. If they are not completely se-

cured, passengers may be injured in

an accident or sudden stop.

Reclining

Pull the knob to remove it from the lock plate and

lean back until the desired angle is obtained. To

bring the seatback forward, pull the knob and

move your body forward.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the

seatback for occupants of different sizes to help

obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on

seat belt usage” later in this section.) The seat-

back may also be reclined to allow occupants to

rest when the vehicle is parked.

WARNING

쐌 Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident

you could be thrown into it and re-

ceive neck or other serious injuries.

You could also slide under the lap

belt and receive serious internal inju-

ries.

쐌 For most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat

should be upright. Always sit well

back in the seat and adjust the seat

belt properly. See “Seat belts” later

in this section for precautions on

seat belt usage.

쐌 After adjustment, check to be sure

the seat is securely locked.
