40 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
To raise a seatback:
1. Lift the seatback up. Make sure the
center seat belt and latch do not
get trapped behind the seat. Push
the seatback rearward to lock it in
place.
A red tab near the seatback lever
retracts when the seatback is
locked in place.
2. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked into
position.
3. Reconnect the center seat belt
mini-latch to the mini-buckle. Do
not let the belt twist.
4. Pull on the center seat belt to make
sure the mini-latch is secure.
5. Repeat the steps to raise the other
seatback, if necessary.
When the seat is not in use, it should
be kept in the upright, locked position.

Seat Belts

This section describes how to use seat
belts properly, and some things not
to do.
Warning
Do not let anyone ride where a seat
belt cannot be worn properly. In a
crash, if you or your passenger(s)
are not wearing seat belts, injuries
can be much worse than if you are
wearing seat belts. You can be
seriously injured or killed by hitting
things inside the vehicle harder or
by being ejected from the vehicle.
In addition, anyone who is not
buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, passengers
riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed. Do
not allow passengers to ride in any
area of the vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Always wear a seat belt, and check
that all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too.
This vehicle has indicators as a
reminder to buckle the seat belts. See
Seat Belt Reminders 0 97.
Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as
fast as the vehicle does. If the vehicle
stops suddenly, you keep going until
something stops you. It could be the
windshield, the instrument panel,
or the seat belts!
When you wear a seat belt, you and
the vehicle slow down together. There
is more time to stop because you stop
over a longer distance and, when worn
properly, your strongest bones take
