Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions)
may be folded to facilitate carrying
long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle.
•Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving as
this is not a proper seating posi
tion and no seat belts are avail
able for use. This could result in
serious injury 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 seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden
stops.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to prop
erly protect the occupants.
WARNING
OGC034019
•For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
•Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
•When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position.
•Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides
will help keep the seat belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.
NOTICE
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.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked into
its upright position by pushing on
the top of the seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud
den stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the pas
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
manual transaxle is in R (Reverse)
or 1st, and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadver
tently moved to another position.

SEAT BELTS
•For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
•Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
•Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow chil
dren to ride in the front passen
ger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat,
he/she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved
as far back as possible.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned mid
way over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a sud
den stop or impact, the seat belt
can damage it.
•Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do its
job as well. In a collision, it could
even cut into you. Be sure the
belt webbing is straight and not
twisted.
•Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If the
belt webbing or hardware is
damaged, replace it.
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con
tamination of the webbing with pol
ishes, oils and chemicals, and par
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

(Continued)
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu
pant's lap.
•No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper
ating to remove slack, or prevent
the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
•When you fasten the seat belt, be
careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan
gerous and you may not be pro
tected by the seat belt properly.
•Do not unfasten the seat belt and
do not fasten and unfasten the
seat belt repeatedly while driving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam
age.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt does
not pass over objects that are
hard or can break easily.
•Make sure there is nothing in the
buckle. The seat belt may not be
fastened securely.
