WARNING

Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury in an accident or suddenstop.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously in-
jured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts. Be sure everyone in your ve-
hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seat.

Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.

If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not

backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.

When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
