Make sure the safety belts and safety belt buckles are not trapped under the seat cushion and are properly positioned for use. 5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the other seatback and seat cushion, if necessary. If additional cargo space is not needed, the seatbacks should be kept in the upright, locked position. Rear Seat Armrest 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. (Continued) The rear seat has an armrest in the center of the seatback. Lower the armrest to access the cupholders. To fold, lift the armrest up and push it rearward until it is flush with the seatback.
