Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly. If the seatback
is returned without holding it, the
back of the seat could spring for-
ward resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.
CAUTION
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatback, insert the buckle
in the pocket between the rear
seatback and cushion. Doing so can
prevent the buckle from being dam-
aged by the rear seatback.
CAUTION
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatbacks to the upright
position, remember to return the
rear shoulder belts to their proper
position. Routing the seat belt web-
bing through the rear seat belt
guides will help keep the belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.

WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and causing
injury to the vehicle occupants. Do
not place objects in the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may
hit the front seat occupants in a col-
lision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission is in P
(Park) or the manual transmission is
in R (Reverse) or 1st, and the park-
ing brake is securely applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the shift
dial SBW is inadvertently moved to
another position.
