WARNING
Do not fold the rear seatbacks down
until the driver has positioned his seat

to operate the vehicle out of position
and increase the risk of bodily injury in a
sudden stop or collision.
WARNING

When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. If the seatback is
returned without holding it, the back of
the seat could spring forward, resulting
in injury caused by being struck by the
seatback.
