!

Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when
the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats could
move more than necessary or move suddenly and
cause a serious accident.


After folding up a seat or returning a seat back to its
normal position, make sure that the seat is firmly
secured. If the seat is not secured, it could move and
cause a serious accident.


Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while
the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properly
seated and restrained can be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.


The front passenger seat is equipped with weight
sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front
passenger airbag is disabled or enabled. When fold-
ing the second row seats forward for increased cargo
capacity, the front passenger seat and seat back
must be adjusted to assure they are not contacting
the second row seat. In the event the front seat or
seatback is allowed to contact the folded second row
seat, proper operation of the front passenger airbag
system may be affected.
CAUTION
!

In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher
than the top of the seats and make sure that the lug-
gage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or fly-
ing objects entering the passenger compartment
during sudden braking could result in a serious acci-
dent.


Seats should always be folded up and put back into
the normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments
by a child could lead to an unexpected accident.


When adjusting the seats, be careful not to catch
your hand or leg. Personal injury could result.
