Be careful not to hit the removed
seat against a person or drop it on
yourself.
"
After folding or installing the seat,
push it forward and backward to
make sure it is locked in position.
To prevent personal injury in a colli-
sion or sudden stop:
"
Do not sit on or place anything on
the folded seatback while driving.
"
Do not
leave
the
removed seat
loose in the vehicle.
"
Do not try to sit on or place any-
thing on the removed seat.
"
When reinstalling the seat, be care-
ful not to hit the seat against you
or inside of the vehicle.
"
Install each seat in the same posi-
tion from which it was removed.
Failure to do so will prevent rear
seat
occupants
from
using
belts properly.
