88 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE • If the seatback is properly latched and the rear center lap/shoulder belt still does not operate properly check and see if the Automatic Locking retractor (ALR) system is activated. Tumbling Rear Seat To provide additional storage in the cargo area, each rear seat can be tumbled forward. WARNING! The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a lock-out feature to ensure that the seatback is in the fully upright and locked position when occupied. If the rear seatback is not fully upright and locked and the rear center lap/shoulder belt can be pulled out of the retractor, the vehicle should immediately be taken to your dealer for service. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious or fatal injury. CAUTION! It is important that the front seats be pulled forward to the midpoint of the seat track to avoid contact between the rear seat and the front seatback. If the front seat is not pulled forward the two seats will make contact during the tumbling motion and cause damage to the rear seat material. After the rear seat is tumbled forward and secured the front seat can then be repositioned to the preferred position.
