Never allow a passenger to sit or stand
on the folded seatback while the
vehicle is moving:Driving with a passenger on the
folded seatback is dangerous.
Allowing a child to sit up on the
folded seatback while the vehicle is
moving is particularly dangerous. In
a sudden stop or even a minor
collision, a child not in a proper seat
or child-restraint system and seat
belt could be thrown forward, back
or even out of the vehicle resulting in
serious injuries or death. The child in
the baggage area could be thrown
into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
NOTE
lThe third-row seat cannot be removed.lWhen returning a third-row seat to its
original position, also replace the seat belt
to its normal position. Verify that the seat
belt pulls out and retracts.

WARNING
Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system:
Using the tether or tether anchor to
secure anything but a child-restraint
system is dangerous. This could
weaken or damage the tether or
tether anchor and result in injury.
Always route the tether strap between
the head restraint and the seatback
(Second-row seats): Routing the tether strap on top of the
head restraint is dangerous. In a
collision the tether strap could slide
off the head restraint and loosen the
child-restraint system. The child-
restraint system could move which
may result in death or injury to the
child.
Always route the tether strap over the
head restraint (Third-row seat): Routing the tether strap between the
head restraint posts is dangerous as
it could damage or weaken the
seatback, resulting in the child-
restraint system not being correctly
secured. In a collision, the child-
restraint system could shift or loosen
which may result in death or injury to
the child.
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position: Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the child-
restraint system moves it could result
in death or injury to the child.
