WARNING
- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care of objects should be
taken when placing them in the rear
seats, since those may hit the front
seat occupants in a frontal colli-
sion.
WARNING -
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park) or
the manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if shift lever is inadvertent-
ly moved to another position.
Head restraint
The rear seat(s) is equipped with head
restraints in all the seating positions for
the occupant's safety and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for passengers, but also helps to
protect the head and neck in the event of
a collision.
Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint is
at the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity of
most people's head is similar
with the height of the top of their
eyes. Also adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
OPA039053
possible. The use of a cushion
that holds the body away from
the seatback is not recommend-
ed.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to an occupant may
occur in the event of an accident.
Head restraints may provide pro-
tection
against
injuries when properly adjusted.
• When there is no occupant in the
rear seats, adjust the height of
the head restraint to the lowest
position. The rear seat head
restraint can reduce the visibility
of the rear area.
