Seating and safety restraints To return the seat to the upright position: • Pull the release handle upward to unlatch the seat. • Rotate the seatback upward until the seatback latches in the upright position. The seatback will click when it is locked into position. SAFETY RESTRAINTS Safety restraints precautions Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips. To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they can be properly restrained. Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision. All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag SRS is provided. 93
