seat could spring forward
resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.

pocket between the rear seat-
back and cushion. Doing so can
prevent the buckle from being
damaged by the rear seatback.

When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position. Routing the seat belt
webbing through the rear seat
belt guides will help keep the
belts from being trapped behind
or under the seats.
