Flip up seat cushions (if
equipped)

For additional cargo space, you may
be able to flip the seat cushions up
before folding the seatback.

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

behind the seatback. Make sure that the safety belt is not laying on the
seat latch. 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.

crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further

and safety belt usage sensors.
