WARNING

∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.

∙ For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. For additional
information, refer to “Precautions on
seat belt usage” in this section.

∙ After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

∙ Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti-
vate switches or controls or make the ve-
hicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents.

∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.

∙ Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv-

ing so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation. The seat may move sud-
denly and could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.

∙ The seatback should not be reclined any

more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the seat.
If the seatback is reclined, the risk of slid-
ing under the lap belt and being injured is
increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT POWER SEAT
ADJUSTMENT

Operating tips

∙ The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds
then reactivate the switch.

∙ Do not operate the power seat switch for

a long period of time when the engine is
off. This will discharge the battery.

For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section of this
manual.

Forward and backward

Moving the switch as shown will slide the
seat forward or backward to the desired po-
sition.

Reclining

Move the recline switch as shown until the
desired angle is obtained.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different sizes
for added comfort and to help obtain proper
seat belt fit. For additional information, refer
to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this
section. Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the shift lever is in P (Park).

The recline feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. For additional information, refer to
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this sec-
tion. Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is

WARNING

∙ After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.

∙ For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat and adjust the seat belt prop-
erly. For additional information, refer to
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this
section.

ARMRESTS

The rear bench seat comes equipped with an
armrest. Pull the armrest down as shown.

FLEXIBLE SEATING

WARNING

∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

area or on the rear seats when they are in
the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be se-
riously injured or killed.

∙ 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 vehicle is in a seat and using a seat
belt properly.

∙ Do not allow more than one person to use

the same seat belt.

∙ Do not fold down the rear seats when

occupants are in the rear seat area or any
luggage is on the rear seats.

– Make sure that the seat path is clear

before moving the seat.

– Be careful not to allow hands or feet to

get caught or pinched in the seat.

∙ Head restraints/headrests should be ad-

justed properly as they may provide sig-
nificant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust them
properly if they have been removed for
any reason.

∙ If the head restraints/headrests are re-

moved for any reason, they should be se-
curely stored to prevent them from caus-
ing injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident.

LRS2924

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

∙ When returning the seatbacks to the up-

right position, be certain they are com-
pletely secured in the latched position. If
they are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or sud-
den stop.

∙ Properly secure all cargo to help prevent

it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.

Folding the rear bench seat

To fold the rear bench seat flat for maximum
cargo hauling:

1. Make

sure

that

the

head

restraints/headrests are lowered. To re-
move the head restraints/headrests,
push and hold the lock knob while mov-
ing the head restraints/headrests in an
upward

direction.

Store

the

head

restraints/headrests properly so they
are not loose in the vehicle.

2. Stow the rear seat belts in the seat belt

hooks found on the sides of the vehicle.

3. Lift up on the recline lever on the side of

the outboard seats or pull the lever on
either side of the cargo area to fold the
seatbacks flat.

4. To return the rear bench seats to a seat-

ing position, push up on the seatback
until it latches in place.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone else
uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or remove
the head restraint/headrest. Do not use
the seat if the head restraint/headrest has
been

removed.

If

the

head

restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall
and

properly

adjust

the

head

restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effective-
ness of the head restraints/headrests. This
may increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

䉱 Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.

䡲 Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest.

+ Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest (if
applicable).

∙ Your vehicle is equipped with a head

restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

∙ Adjustable

head

restraints/headrests

have multiple notches along the stalk(s)
to lock them in a desired adjustment po-
sition.

∙ The

non-adjustable

head

restraints/headrests have a single lock-
ing notch to secure them to the seat
frame.

∙ Proper Adjustment:

– For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of
your ear is approximately level with
the

center

of

the

head

restraint/headrest.

– If your ear position is still higher than

the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint/headrest at the
highest position.

∙ If the head restraint/headrest has been

removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that des-
ignated seating position.
