WARNING
• Keep vehicle doors and the trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsu-
pervised children could lock themselves in
an open trunk and risk injury. Children
should be taught not to play in vehicles.
• On hot days, the temperature in the trunk
or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Ex-
posure of people to these high tempera-
tures for even a short period of time can
cause heat-related injury or death. Small
children are particularly at risk.
WARNING
• When the backrest is returned to the up-
right position, check that it is properly
locked in place. Return the head restraints
to the upright position.
• Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the event of
a sudden stop.
• Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading the
vehicle.
• Place the transmission in the Park ( P ) po-
sition to help prevent inadvertent movement
of the gear selector.
• The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-
down rear seat. The backrest(s) can be fold-
ed down by pulling the release control han-
dles inside the trunk.
Rear center head restraint
The center head restraint should be adjusted
according to the passenger's height. The
restraint should be carefully adjusted to sup-
port the occupant's head.
Pull the head restraint up as required. To
lower, press the button at the base of the
head restraint's left support while pressing
the head restrain down.
