SEATING

WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to
slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal

injuries in the event of a collision.

WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.

WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped

behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.

WARNING: Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving.

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in

and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint
while the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING: The adjustable head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted

when the seat is occupied.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, head restraints must be installed properly.
