CAUTION: (Continued)
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it
won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the
belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Split Folding Rear Seat (If Equipped)
This feature enables you direct access to the trunk from
the rear seat of the vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback, pull the seat tab latch
forward or pull the remote release straps in the trunk.
To return the seat to its original position, push it back up
and make sure it latches in the locked position by
pulling and pushing on the seatback.
