Folding Down The Seatback - Subaru Tribeca 2012 Quick Reference Manual

& Folding down the seatback
WARNING
. Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded seatback or in the
cargo area. Doing so may result
in serious injury or death.
. Secure skis and other long items
properly to prevent them from
being thrown around inside the
vehicle and causing serious in-
jury during a sudden stop, a
sudden steering maneuver or a
rapid acceleration.
. When you return the seatback to
its original position, shake the
seatback slightly to confirm that
it is securely fixed in place. If the
seatback is not securely fixed in
place, the seatback may sud-
denly fold down in the event of
sudden braking, or objects may
move out from the cargo area,
which could cause serious injury
or death.
. After returning the seatback to its
original position, be sure to place
all of the seatbelts and the tab
attached to the seat cushion
above the seat cushion. Also,
make certain that the shoulder
belts are fully visible.
