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.
Type A
1. Set the front seatback to the
upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Insert the rear lap/shoulder belt
plate into the holder on the seat
and side trim. It will prevent the
lap/shoulder belt from interfering
with the seatback when folding.
3. Pull up both sides of the seatback
lever and fold the seatback toward
the front of the vehicle.
To use the rear seat, lift and push up
the seatback backward. Push the
seatback firmly until it clicks into
place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place.

Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down
seatback while the vehicle is
moving as this is not a proper
seating position and no seat
belts are available 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.

Safety system of your vehicle
When returning the rear seat-
backs 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 causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly 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 acci-
dent or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger
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 when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.

For maximum restraint sys-
tem protection, the seat belts
must always be used whenev-
er 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 children to ride in
the front passenger 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 midway
over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden 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 pro-
tection for which they have been
designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged.

WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
(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
occupant's lap.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating 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 dangerous and you may
not be protected 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 damage.
(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.
