s01ac
Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits back and upright in the seat . Do not place cushions or any other materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions . By doing so , the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase , and both can result in serious internal injury or death .
WARNING
Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the seatback as it could tumble forward and injure passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident .
& Folding Down the Rear Seatback s01ac02
WARNING
. When you fold down the seatback , check that there are no passengers or objects on the rear seat . Not doing so creates a risk of injury or property damage if
the seatback suddenly folds down .
. Never allow passengers to ride on the folded rear seatback or in the cargo area . Doing so may result in serious injury or death .
. Secure all objects and especially long items properly to prevent them from being thrown around inside the vehicle and causing serious injury during a sudden stop , a sudden steering maneuver or a rapid acceleration .
. When you return the seatback to its original position , shake the seatback slightly to confirm that it is securely fixed in place . If the seatback is not securely fixed in place , the seatback may suddenly fold down in the event of sudden braking , or objects may move out from the cargo area , which could cause serious injury or death .
