CAUTION
When returning seats to their original

feet pinched in the seat.
Make sure the seat is securely
D
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback or
by trying to pull up the edge of the
bottom cushion. Failure to do so
will prevent the seat belt from oper-
ating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
D
twisted or caught in the seatback
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
