Rear seats

WARNING

Seatbelts provide maximum re-

straint when the occupant sits well

back and upright in the seat. Do not

put cushions or any other materials

between occupants and seatbacks

or seat cushions. If you do so, the

risk of sliding under the lap belt and

of the lap belt sliding up over the

abdomen will increase, and both can

result in serious internal injury or

death.

WARNING

Never stack luggage or other cargo

higher than the top of the seatback

because it could tumble forward and

injure passengers in the event of a

sudden stop or accident.

& Folding down the rear seat-

back

WARNING

. After returning the rear seat to its

original position, be certain to

place all of the seatbelts and the

tab attached to the seat cushion

above the seat cushion. And

make certain that the shoulder

belts are fully visible.

. Never allow passengers to ride

on the folded rear seatback or in

the cargo area or trunk. Doing so

may result in serious injury or

death.

. Secure skis and other lengthy

items properly to prevent them

from being thrown around inside

the vehicle and causing serious

injury during a sudden stop, a

sudden steering maneuver or a

rapid acceleration.
