CAUTION
■When the seatback is folded/the bottom cushion is raised
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback or auxiliary box while driving.
■When returning the seats to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
●Make sure the seatbacks and bottom cushions are securely locked. Fail-
ure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat.
●Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
Attach the head restraints to
the holders located on the
back sides of the bottom cush-
ions.
Fold down the seatback by
pulling the lock release strap.

When driving
CAUTION
■Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-
ment.
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not stack anything behind the front seats higher than the seat-
backs.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the
vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent
the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or
hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident.
• Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid
●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the rear deck. It is not designed for pas-
sengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly
fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or seri-
ous bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
