or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seatbacks. Doing this could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.

while the vehicle is moving or the
2nd row seat is occupied as the
seat may suddenly move and
cause the passenger on the seat
to be injured.
