Safety
Warnings and
Symbols
You will find a number
of
safety cautions in
this
book.
We use a box and the word CAUTION
to
tell you about
things that could hurt you
if
you were to ignore the
warning.
These mean there
is
something that
could
hurt
you or other people.
In
the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is.
Then we tell you what to do
to
help avoid or reduce the
hazard. Please read these cautions.
If
you don’t, you
or others could be hurt.
n
You
will
also find
a
circle
with a slash through it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t.’’
“Don’t do this” or “Don’t let
this happen.”

Damage
Warnings
Also,
in this book you will find these notices:
Notice:
These mean there is something that
could
damage
your
vehicle.
A
notice will tell you about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your warranty, and
it
could be costly. But the
notice will tell you what
to
do
to
help avoid the
damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION
and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different
words.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
Your vehicle may be equipped with components and
labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols, used
on your vehicle, are shown along with the text
describing the operation or information relating
to
a
specific component, control, message, gage or indicator.
If
you need help figuring out a specific name of a
component, gage or indicator reference the following
topics in the Index:
“Engine Compartment Overview”
“Instrument Panel Overview”
“Climate Controls”
“Audio Systems’’

f
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even
if
you
buckle 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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
The lap belt can
do
it’s
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.
1-5
Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The front seat head restraints are adjustable. Slide the
head restraint up or down to adjust it.
On some models, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward
also.
The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle may be
adjustable. They work the same as the front seat head
restraints, except they do not tilt forward or rearward.

Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have seat operating
features to adjust, fold, remove and reinstall the seats.
By using the seat operating procedures, in the
correct order, you can easily remove the seats from
your vehicle.
When you put the seats back in the vehicle, be sure to
follow the label on the back of the seat for proper location.
Split Bench Seats
The seatbacks can be folded forward or reclined
individually and the sections can be flipped forward or
removed individually.
If the seatback isn’t

ould move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always

on
the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
To recline the seatbacks
lift up on the recliner lever
located on the outboard
side of the seatback.

Move the seatback to the desired position.
It is easier to raise or lower the seatback
if
you lean
forward and take the weight
off
the seatback.
Removing the Split Bench
Seat
Each section of the split bench seat can be flipped
forward or removed individually.
To fold the seatback forward lift up on the recliner lever
and fold the seatback forward. The seatback will lock

seatback will lock into place when you push it back to
the upright position.

A
CAUTION.
If
the seatback isn’t locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure
it
is
locked.
A
seat that isn’t locked into place properly can
move around in a collision or sudden stop.
People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure
to lock the seat into place properly when
installing
it.
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted won’t provide the
protection needed
in
a crash. The person
wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
After installing the seat, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are properly routed
and attached, and are not twisted.
Make sure the seatback is in the folded forward position
and the safety belts are on the correct section of the seat.
Don’t put the sections of the bench seat in
so
they face
rearward because they won’t latch that way.
The split bench seat sections have seat position labels,
located on the back of each section, showing where
the section must go.
The seat
must
be placed in the proper location for the
legs
to
attach correctly.

If
the front legs

correctly, the rear legs
will not attach to the rear
set of floor pins.

Safety
Belts
Safety Belts: They Are
for
Everyone
This
part of the manual tells you
how
to
use safety
belts properly.
It
also tells you some
things
you
should
not
do
with safety belts.
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t
wear a safety belt properly.
If
you are in a
crash and you’re not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse. You can
hit
things inside the vehicle or be ejected from
it.
You can be seriously injured or killed. In the
same crash, you might not be, if you are
buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt,
and check that your passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.
It
is
extremely dangerous to ride
in
a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In
a
collision, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do
not
allow people to ride
in
any area of your vehicle
that
is
not equipped with seats and safety
belts. Be sure everyone
in
your vehicle
is
in a
seat and using a safety belt properly.
