WARNING

Driver responsibility for

passengers

Do not use a sitting cushion that

reduces friction between the seat

and passenger. The passenger's

hips may slide under the lap por-

tion of the seat belt during an acci-

dent or a sudden stop. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result

because the seat belt can't oper-

ate normally.

Loose objects

4

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the oper-

ation of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

Riding in a vehicle with seatback

reclined could lead to serious or

fatal injury in an accident. If a seat

is reclined during an accident, the

occupant’s hips may slide under the

lap portion of the seat belt applying

great force to the unprotected

abdomen. The protection of your

restraint system (seat belt and air

bags) is greatly reduced by reclin-

ing your seat. Serious or fatal inter-

nal injuries could result. The driver

must advise the passenger to keep

the seatback in an upright position

whenever the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

Uprighting seat

When you return the seatback to

its upright position, hold the seat-

back and return it slowly and be

sure there are no other occupants

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could move forward or backward

resulting in accidental injury to a

person struck by the seatback.

Safety system of your vehicle

(Continued)

WARNING

• No passenger should ride in the

cargo area or sit or lie on folded

seatbacks while the vehicle is

moving. All passengers must be

properly seated in seats and

restrained properly while riding.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle.

Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control, and

an accident causing death, seri-

ous injury, or property damage.

• When resetting the seatback to

the upright position, make sure it is

securely latched by pushing it for-

ward and backwards.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing items against a

seatback or in any other way

interfering with proper locking of

a seatback could result in serious

or fatal injury in a sudden stop or

collision.

WARNING

Rear seatbacks

• To avoid the possibility of burns,

do not remove the carpet in the

cargo area. Emission control

devices beneath this floor gener-

ate high temperatures.

• The rear seatback must be

securely latched. If not, passen-

gers and objects could be thrown

forward resulting in serious injury

or death in the event of a sudden

stop or collision.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

WARNING

• Luggage and other cargo should

be laid flat in the cargo area. If

objects are large, heavy, or must

be piled, they must be secured.

Under no circumstances should

cargo be piled higher than the

seatbacks. Failure to follow these

warnings could result in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop, collision or rollover.

After adjusting the seat, always

check that it is securely locked into

place by attempting to move the

seat forward or backward without

using the lock release lever.

Sudden or unexpected movement

of the driver's seat could cause

you to lose control of the vehicle

resulting in an accident.

3. Release the lever and make sure

the seat is locked in place.

• Do not adjust the seat while wear-

ing seat belts. Moving the seat

cushion forward may cause

strong pressure on the abdomen.

4

Adjust the seat before driving, and

make sure the seat is locked secure-

ly by trying to move forward and rear-

ward without using the lever. If the

seat moves, it is not locked properly.

• Use extreme caution so that

hands or other objects are not

caught in the seat mechanisms

while the seat is moving.

• Do not put a cigarette lighter on

the floor or seat. When you oper-

ate the seat, gas may gush out of

the lighter and cause fire.

long items or to increase the luggage

capacity of the vehicle.

WARNING

• Never allow passengers to sit on

top of the folded down seatback

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

seatback is completely locked into

its upright position by pushing on

the top of the seatback.

Otherwise, in an accident or sud-

den stop, the seat could fold down

and allow cargo to enter the pas-

senger compartment, which could

result in serious injury or death.

unloading cargo. Failure to take

these steps may allow the vehicle

to move if the shift lever is inad-

vertently moved to another posi-

tion.

• Routing the seat belt webbing

through the rear seat belt guides

will help keep the seat belts from

being trapped behind or under the

seats.

causing injury to the vehicle occu-

pants. Do not place objects in the

rear seats, since they cannot be

properly secured and may hit the

front seat occupants in a collision.
