WARNING
Do not drive with either front seats reclined
■
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
because you do not get the full protection from seat belts. During sudden
braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious
internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and
■
your back
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture
and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat
■
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and
result in an accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks
■
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous.
During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become
projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving
■
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while
■
the vehicle is moving
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a
child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particu-
larly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a
proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward,
back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The
child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the
■
vehicle
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are
back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the way they had
entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.
