stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are

Warning
A safety belt that is improperly

seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.
