WARNING
S_103049-MW
Seatbelts provide maximum restraint
when the occupant sits back and
upright in the seat. Do not place
cushions or any other materials be-
tween occupants and seatbacks or
seat cushions. By doing 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
S_103045-MW
Never stack luggage or other cargo
higher than the top of the seatback as
it could tumble forward and injure
passengers in the event of a sudden
stop or accident.
FOLDING DOWN THE REAR
SEATBACK
s01ac02
WARNING
. When you fold down the seatback,
check that there are no passengers
or objects on the rear seat. Not
doing so creates a risk of injury or
property damage if the seatback
suddenly folds down.
. Never allow passengers to ride on
the folded rear seatback or in the
cargo area. 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 stop, a
sudden steering maneuver or a
rapid acceleration.
. When you return the seatback to its
original position, shake the seat-
back slightly to confirm that it is
securely fixed in place. If the seat-
back is not securely fixed in place,
the seatback may suddenly fold
down in the event of sudden
braking, or objects may move out
from the cargo area, which could
cause serious injury or death.
