Rear Seats
Rear Seat Reminder
If equipped, the message REAR SEAT REMINDER LOOK IN REAR SEAT displays under certain conditions indicating there may be an item or passenger in the rear seat. Check before exiting the vehicle. This feature will activate when a second row door is opened while the vehicle is on or up to 10 minutes before the vehicle is turned on. There will be an alert when the vehicle is turned off. The alert does not directly detect objects in the rear seat; instead, under certain conditions, it detects when a rear door is opened and closed, indicating that there may be something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each time the vehicle is turned on and off, and will require reactivation by opening and closing the second row doors. There may be an alert even when there is nothing in the rear seat; for example, if a child entered the vehicle through the rear door and left the vehicle without the vehicle being shut off. The feature can be turned on or off. Select Settings > Vehicle > Rear Seat Reminder > ON or OFF.
Rear Seat Adjustment
The second row seats slide forward for more room.
To adjust the seat position, lift the lever below the seat cushion and slide the seat forward or backward
Reclining the Seatback
To recline the seatback
- Pull the reclining seatback handle.
- Move the seatback to the desired position, and then release the handle to lock the seatback in place.
- Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.
Folding the Seatback
Either side of the seatback can be folded for more cargo space. Fold a seatback only when the vehicle is not moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the seat belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the seat belts. Always unbuckle the seat belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.
To fold the seatback:
- Fold the head restraint, if equipped. See Head Restraints 0 34.
- Pull the handle on the side of the seat cushion to unlock it.
- Fold the seatback forward.
Repeat the steps to fold the other seatback, if desired.
Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar
The rear seatbacks can also be folded forward by pulling the levers on either side of the rear cargo area.
Raising the Seatback
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash.
That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked
Warning
A seat belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash.
The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the seat belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
To raise a seatback:
- Lift the seat back up and push it rearward to lock it in place.
- Return the head restraint to the upright position. See Head Restraints 0 34.
- Push and pull the top of the seatback to be sure it is locked into position
- Repeat the steps to raise the other seatback, if necessary.
If additional cargo space is not needed, the seatbacks should be kept in the upright, locked position
Warning
If temperature change or pain to the skin cannot be felt, the seat heater may cause burns. See the Warning under Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 0 41.
If equipped, the buttons are on the rear doors.
With the engine running, press L or M to heat the left or right outboard seat cushion. An indicator light on the button will turn on when the heated seat is on. Press the button again to turn this feature off. The indicator will turn off.
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 99.
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 the forces from the seat belts. That is why wearing seat belts makes such good sense.
Questions and Answers About Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a seat belt?
A: You could be — whether you are wearing a seat belt or not. Your chance of being conscious during and after a crash, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear seat belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental systems only.
They work with seat belts — not instead of them. Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
Also, in nearly all states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing seat belts
