tion, push the recliner control lever and
reverse the above procedure.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it is locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top
of the seatback.
WARNING:
o The purpose of the fold-up rear seat
cushion and the fold-down rear seat
back is to allow you to carry more ob-
jects than could otherwise be accom-
modated. Do not allow passengers to
sit on the cargo area while the car is
moving. This is not a proper seating
position and no seat belts are available
for use when the seat back is folded
down.
This could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or a sud-

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Note that this
vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Restraint (Airbag) System as discussed
beginning on page 1-19. The seat belts
must be used in conjunction with the sup-
plemental airbag system. State laws re-
quire that some or all occupants of the
vehicle use seat belts. The possibility of
increased injury or severity of injury in an
accident will be increased if this elemen-
tary safety precaution is not observed.

Infant or Small Child

All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements
in your state. Child and/or infant safety seats
must be properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. Information about the use of these
restraints begins on page 1-15.
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. In a collision, an un-
restrained child can become a "missile"
inside the car. The force required to hold a
child on your lap could be so great that
you could not hold the child. Any child
riding in the vehicle should always be in a
proper restraint in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
NOTE:
Small children are best protected from in-
jury in an accident when properly restrained
in the rear seat by a child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before
buying any child restraint system, make
sure that it has a label certifying that it
meets Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height and
weight. Check the label on the child re-
straint for this information. See page 1-15.
