SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Passenger Folding Seatback The front passenger’s seatback may fold flat. WARNING If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is not near an airbag. In a crash, an inflating airbag might force that object toward a per- son.
Page 18: Rear Seats
To raise the seatback, do the following: 1) Lift the recliner lever, located on the outboard side of the seat, up fully and push up on the seatback. 2) Continue raising the seatback until the seatback re-engages. WARNING If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
Page 19 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS 5) Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked. To recline the seatback, do the following: 1) Lift and hold the lever located on top of the seatback. 2) Tilt the seatback rearward, then release the lever when the seatback is in the desired position.
Page 20 Third Row Seat WARNING Be sure to return the seat to the pas- senger seating position when fin- ished. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked into place. Never use the third row seating posi- tion while the second row is folded, or folded and tumbled.

Page 24 It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety belt through the latch plate to fully tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
Page 25 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Question: What is wrong with this? 805942 Answer: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. WARNING You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen.
Page 26 1378915 To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way. Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle.

Page 30: Child Restraints
Safety Belt Pretensioners Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the driver and right front passenger. Although you cannot see them, they are part of the safety belt assembly. They help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near frontal, rear or side crash, or a roll- over if the threshold conditions for preten- sioner activation are met.
Page 31: Infants And Young Children
SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS 1379302 Question: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck? Answer: If the child is sitting in a seat next to a win- dow, move the child toward the center of the vehicle.
Page 32 WARNING People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby does not weigh much – until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12 lb (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a 240 lb (110 kg) force on a person’s arms.
Page 33 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS The restraint manufacturer’s instructions that come with the restraint state the weight and height limitations for a particu- lar child restraint. In addition, there are many kinds of restraints available for chil- dren with special needs. WARNING Newborn infants need complete sup- port, including support for the head...

Page 46 WARNING You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt – even if you have airbags. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it.
Page 47: Where Are The Airbags
SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS WARNING Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air- bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for adults, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Page 48 1177533 The roof-mounted rollover airbag for the driver and the person seated directly behind the driver is located in the ceiling above the side windows. 1197154 The roof-mounted rollover airbag for the right front passenger and the person directly behind that passenger is located in the ceiling above the side windows.
Page 49 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS WARNING If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear.
Page 50 impact, and how quickly the vehicle slows down. For roof-mounted rollover airbags, inflation is determined by the location and severity of the impact or a rollover event. What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In an impact of sufficient severity, the air- bag sensing system detects that the vehi- cle is in a crash.
Page 51: Passenger Sensing System
SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windshields are broken by vehi- cle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger airbag. • Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for your airbag system.
Page 52 WARNING A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger’s airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal airbag if the sys- detects...
Page 53 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make sure that the vehi- cle’s seatback is not pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion. If this hap- pens, slightly recline the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
Page 54: Restraint System Check
WARNING Stowing of articles under the passen- ger’s seat or between the passen- ger’s seat cushion and seatback may interfere with the proper operation of the passenger sensing system. Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Airbags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
Page 55 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS CAUTION If you damage the covering for the driver’s or the right front passenger’s airbag, or the side impact airbag cov- ering on the ceiling near the side win- dows, the airbag may not work properly. You may have to replace the airbag module in the steering wheel, both the airbag module and the instrument panel for the right front...
