WARNING
Rear seatback
To ensure maximum protection in the
event of an accident or sudden stop,
when returning the rear seat to the
upright position:
僅 Be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle.
僅 Do not allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to become pinched or caught
in the rear seat.
僅 Ensure the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
Failure to adhere to any of these
instructions could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a crash.
CAUTION
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert
the buckles between the rear seatback
and cushion. Doing so can prevent the
buckles from being damaged by the rear
seatback.
CAUTION
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatback to the
upright position, remember to return the
rear seat belts to their proper position.
WARNING
Unless the driver's position is properly
set according to the driver's physical fig -
ure, do not fold the rear seat. It may
increase bodily injuries in a sudden stop
or collision.
CAUTION
Be careful when loading cargo through
the rear passenger seats to prevent
damage to the vehicle interior.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to pre -
vent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they can -
not be properly secured and may hit the
front seat occupants in a collision.
Cargo loading
Make sure the vehicle is off, the gear is
in P (Park) and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading or
unloading cargo. Failure to take these
steps may allow the vehicle to move if
the shifter dial is inadvertently moved to
another position.
