BEFORE DRIVING

Rear seats

NOTICE

To avoid damaging the heater ele-

ment:

• Do not subject the front seats to

heavy impacts, such as children

jumping on them.

• Do not cover the seat with any

insulating materials such as blan-

kets or cushions.

Head restraints (if equipped)

Head restraints are designed to help

reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case

of an accident.

WARNING

• Never drive the vehicle with the

head restraints removed.

• Do not attempt to adjust the head

restraint while driving.

86G064

NOTE:

WARNING

It may be necessary to fold forward the

seatback to provide enough overhead

clearance to remove the head restraint.

Improperly using the seat heater can

be hazardous. An occupant can suf-

fer burns even if the heating tempera-

ture is fairly low, if the occupant is

wearing thin pants, a thin skirt or

shorts and leaves the heater on for

long periods.

Adjust the head restraint to the position

which places the center of the head

restraint closest to the top of your ears. If

this is not possible for very tall passengers,

adjust the head restraint as high as possi-

ble.

Avoid using the seat heater for these

occupants:

• People who have reduced feeling in

their legs, including the elderly or

those with certain disabilities.

• Small children, or anyone with sen-

sitive skin.

• People who are asleep or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs

which make them tired.

EXAMPLE

Folding rear seats

NOTICE

The rear seats of your vehicle can be

folded forward to provide additional cargo

space.

• When you move a seatback, make

sure the belt webbing is hooked in

the seat belt hangers so the seat

belts are not caught by the seat-

back, seat hinge, or seat latch. This

helps prevent damage to the belt

system.

To fold the rear seats forward:

1) Lower the head restraint (if equipped)

fully.

• Make sure the belt webbing is not

twisted.

EXAMPLE

61MM0A033

To raise the rear head restraint, pull

upward the head restraint until it clicks. To

lower the head restraint, push down the

head restraint while holding in the lock

lever. If a head restraint must be removed

(for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in

the lock lever and pull the head restraint all

the way out.

52RM20150

When installing a child restraint system,

adjust the height of the head restraint or

remove it for fitting the child restraint, as

necessary.

2) Hook the webbing of the outboard lap-

shoulder belts in the belt hangers.

52RM20160

3) For the split seat, pull the release lever

on the top of each split seat, and fold

the seatbacks forward.

For the bench seat, pull the both

release levers on the top of the bench

seat together, and fold the seatback for-

ward.

prevent the seatback from being

locked securely.
