seating position making sure that
the seat cushion is locked into place
and that the safety belt buckles are
exposed.
WARNING: Make sure
safety belt buckle heads are
through elastic holders on seat
backs. Safety belt buckles may
break if they are trapped

position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original

dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
