tion of the safety belt snug and
low across the hips. This is the
best position to protect you in
case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe airbag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
so that your chest is at least 250
mm (10 inches) away from the
steering wheel.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat whilethe vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING- Rear Seatback
The rear seatback must besecurely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks.
(Continued)
(Continued)Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a sudden
stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
in seats and restrained properly
while riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission controls
beneath this floor generate high
exhaust temperatures.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you oper-
ate the seat, gas may gush out of
