General information
Safe transportation of passengers on the rear seats
requires proper safety precautions.
All passengers on the rear seats must be seated in compliance with the safety guidelines explained in=>
page 211 and => page 220. The
correct seating position is critical for the safety of front
and rear
seat passengers alike~
page 204.
& WARNING
• Occupants in the front and rear seats must always be properly
restrained.
• Do not let anyone ride in the vehicle without the head restraints
provided . Head restraints help to reduce injuries.
