WA R N I N G Never adjust the seats to extend a luggage compartment while the vehicle is inmotion or on a slope. The seats could move suddenly and cause serious injury or an accident. After returning a seatback to its normal position, make sure that the seatback isfirmly secured. If the seatback is not secured, it could move and cause a serious accident. Do not allow anyone to
ride in the luggage
compartment while the vehicle is inmotion. People who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident.
 The luggage compartment in the rear of the vehicle should never be used as a play area by children. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection fortheir size and age. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-18. The front passenger seat is equipped with weight sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front passenger airbag is dis-abled or enabled. When folding the rear seats forward for increased cargo capac- ity, the front passenger seat and seatbackmust be adjusted to assure they are not contacting the rear seat. In the event the front seat or seatback is allowed to contactthe folded rear seat, proper operation of the front passenger airbag system may be affected.CAUTION In the luggage compartment, do not load the luggage higher than the top of the seats and make sure that the luggage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or unsecured objects entering the passenger compartment from the luggage compartment during sudden brak-ing can cause serious injury or an accident. Seatbacks should always be folded and put back into normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments by a child could lead to an unex- pected accident.WA R N I N G
