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 forward, resulting
in injury caused by being struck by the
seatback.
WARNING
Rear seatback
To ensure maximum protection in the
event of an accident or sudden stop,
when returning the rear seat to the
upright position:
僅 Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle.
僅 Do not allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to become pinched or caught
in the rear seat.
僅 Ensure the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
Failure to adhere to any of these
instructions could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a crash.
CAUTION
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert
the buckle between the rear seatback
and cushion. Doing so can prevent the
buckle from being damaged by the rear
seatback.
CAUTION
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks to
the upright position, remember to return
the rear shoulder belts to their proper
position.
WARNING
Unless the driver's position is properly
set according to the driver's physical fig-
ure, do not fold the rear seat. It may
increase bodily injuries in a sudden stop
or collision.
CAUTION
Be careful when loading cargo through
the rear passenger seats to prevent
damage to the vehicle interior.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to pre-
vent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and may hit the
front seat occupants in a collision.
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the trans-
mission is in P (Park) and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever load-
ing or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle to
move if the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
