WARNING - Full flat seat
Do not allow a passenger to use the
full flat seat feature while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Severe injury or
death could occur in an accident.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly. If the seatback
is returned without holding it, the
back of the seat could spring for-
ward resulting in accidental injury
from being struck by the seatback.
CAUTION - Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd and /or
3rd row) seatbacks to the upright
position, remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper posi-
tion. Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats.
CAUTION - Damaging rear
seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatback or put luggage on
the rear (2nd and 3rd row) seat
cushion, insert the buckle in the
pocket between the rear seatback
and cushion. Doing so can prevent
the buckle from being damaged by
the rear seatback or luggage.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the auto-
matic transaxle is in P (Park) and the
parking brake is applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure
to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if shift lever is inad-
vertently moved to another position.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care of objects should be
taken when placing them in the rear
(2nd and/or 3rd row) seats, since
those may hit the front seat occu-
pants in a frontal collision.
