Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.

occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow sitting on top of a folded-

verely injured in the event of emer-
gency braking or a collision.

sengers to stand up or move

causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
