Seats and Restraints
3-9
To raise the seatback:
1. Make sure the safety belt is in
the guide on the top of the
seatback.
2. Lift the seatback up and push it
rearward until it clicks into place.
Keep the safety belts clear of the
seatback and untwisted.
A tab near the seatback lever
retracts when the seatback is
locked in place.
The center rear safety belt may
lock when you raise the
seatback. If this happens, let the
belt go back all the way and
start again.
{
WARNING
If the seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always pull forward on the top of
the seatback at the area of the
latch to be sure it is locked.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to
make sure it is locked into
position.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the
other seatback, if necessary.
Keep the seat in the upright locked
position when not in use.
Safety Belts
This section of the manual
describes how to use safety belts
properly. It also describes some
things not to do with safety belts.
{
WARNING
Do not let anyone ride where a
safety belt cannot be worn
properly. In a crash, if you or your
passenger(s) are not wearing
safety belts, injuries can be much
worse than if you are wearing
safety 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.
