WARNING:The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Do not
allow passengers to sit on top of the folded-
down seatback while the car is moving as this
is not a proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use when the seatbacks
are folded down. This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded-
down seatback should not extend higher than
the top of the front seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.
!
For greater convenience, the entire seatback
may be folded down or the seatbacks may be
folded down individually.
o To unlock the seatback, pull up the seatback
locking knob, then push forward on the
seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.

REAR SEAT WARNING
For the safety of all passengers, luggage or
other cargo should not be piled higher than the
top of the seatback. In addition, do not place
objects on the rear shelf as they may move
forward during braking or in an accident and
strike vehicle passengers.

WARNING:When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seat belt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not allow
the seat belt webbing or buckle to get
caught or pinched in the rear seat.

Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary, you should consult a physician for rec-
ommendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of
an accident, and to achieve maximum effective-
ness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should
be in an upright position when the car is moving.
A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if
the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the
front seat is in a reclined position.
WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even if you buckle up, your seat belts
can't do their job when you're reclined. The
shoulder belt can't do its job because it won't
be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it
with great force, receiving serious neck or
other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job
either. In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your strong pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
back in the seat and wear your seat belt
properly. See Page 1-16.

CARE OF SEAT BELTS
Seat belt systems should never be disassem-
bled or modified. In addition, care should be
taken to assure that seat belts and belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors or
other abuse.
B160B01A-AAT
Periodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be in-
spected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.
!
WARNING:When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that the
webbing or buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat.
