WARNING
When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being

Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the

an accident or sudden stop, the
seat could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger com-
partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position.
