Seats

ActiveHeadRestraints

The driver's and front passenger's seats have active head restraints. If the vehicle is struck severely from the rear, the occupant properly secured with the seat belt will be pushed against the seat-back and the head restraint will automatically move forward. This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant's head. It also helps protect the occupants against the likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.

Folding the Rear Seat Down The rear seat-backs can be folded down for more cargo room. Each side folds down separately, so you can still carry a passenger in the rear outer seating position. Remove any items from the seat before folding down the seat-back. Make sure the seat belt buckles are on the seat (see page 97). Make sure there are no items or seat belts on the floor before folding down the seats.

Seats

Do not put any heavy items on the seat-back when it is folded down. While lifting the seat-back, the seat cushion may come up with it. To secure the seat cushion, see page 97. Make sure the seat-back and seat cushion are locked securely and all rear shoulder belts are positioned in front of the rear seat-backs. In the center seating position of the rear seat, be sure the detachable anchor is latched securely before using the seat belt (see page 99). Make sure all items in the cargo area are secured. Loose items can fly forward and cause injury if you have to brake hard (See Carrying Cargo on page 210).

LATCH PLATE

Detachable Anchor The seat belt in the rear center seat is equipped with a detachable anchor. This allows the center seat belt to be unlatched when the driver's side rear seat is folded.

Using a seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.

Before using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly latched.

SMALL LATCH PLATE Pull out the small latch plate and the latch plate from each holding slot in the ceiling, and pull out the seat belt to extend it.
