REAR SEAT WARNING 
For the safety of all passengers, lug- 
gage or other cargo should not be piled 
higher than the top of the seatback.
and no seat belts are available for 
use when the seatback is folded 
down. Passengers who are not
properly seated and wearing seat 
belts could sustain serious inju- 
ries or death in case of an accident
or a sudden stop.
o Objects should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide 
forward and cause injury or dam- 
age during sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seatback to its upright position,
always be sure to install the head- 
rests in their proper positions. 
Headrests are important to the
safety of occupants in a rear colli- 
sion.  If the headrests are not 
installed in their proper position,
serious injury or death could re- 
sult if a rear end collision occurs. SB090A1-E 
SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS 
Seat belts should be worn at all times 
by all occupants front and rear. The
possibility of injury or the severity of 
injuries suffered in the event of an 
accident will be greatly reduced by the
wearing of seat belts. 
In addition the following recommenda- 
tions should be observed. 
SB090B1-E

restrained using a restraint system spe-
cifically designed for this purpose. Un- 
der no circumstances should a child be 
carried in the vehicle without the use of
a suitable restraint which meets the 
regulations in force in the country where 
the vehicle is in operation.
