WARNING

To prevent the passenger from slid-

ing under the seatbelt in the event of

a collision, always put the seatback

in the upright position while the

vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION

If the vehicle is equipped with a

cargo area cover, observe the fol-

lowing precautions.

. Make sure hands are not pinched

between the headrest and the

cargo area cover when rear seat

is reclined.

. Move the front cover of the cargo

area cover backward so that the

cover is not damaged by the

reclined seatback. Refer to “Lift-

ing Cargo Cover (Outback/

while pulling the lever.

After adjusting the seatback, release the

& Folding Down the Rear Seat-

back

s01ac02

WARNING

. When folding down the seatback,

check that there are no passen-

gers or objects on the rear seat.

Not doing so creates a risk of

injury or property damage.

. 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 all objects and especially

long items properly to prevent

them from being thrown around

inside the vehicle and causing

serious injury during a sudden

steering maneuver or accelera-

tion.

. When you return the seatback to

its original position, shake it

slightly to confirm that it is se-

curely in place. If it is not securely

fixed in place, it may suddenly

fold down in the event of sudden

braking, or objects may move out

from the cargo area, both could

cause serious injury or death.

To return the seatback to its original

When you return the seatback to its

original position, check that the

lease button is not visible. Also,

shake the seatback slightly to con-

firm that it is securely in place. If the

ious injury or death.

& Head Restraint Adjustment

s01ac03

Both the rear window side seats and the

rear center seat are equipped with head

restraints.

WARNING

. Never drive the vehicle with the

head restraints removed because

they are designed to reduce the

risk of serious neck injury in the

event that the vehicle is struck

from the rear. Therefore, when

you remove the head restraints,

you must reinstall all head re-

straints to protect vehicle occu-

pants.

. All occupants, including the dri-

ver, should not operate a vehicle

or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the

head restraints are placed in their

proper positions in order to mini-

mize the risk of neck injury in the

event of a crash.

. The front seat head restraints are

designed to be installed into the

front seats only. The rear seat

head restraints are designed to

be installed into the rear seats

only. Do not attempt to install the

front seat head restraints into the

rear seats, or the rear seat head

restraints into the front seats.
