WARNING
!
Unlocked Seatback:A seatback plays an important
role in your protection in a
vehicle. Leaving the seatback

injury. After returning the seat at
any time, even when there are no
other passengers, attempt to push
the seatback forward and
backward to make sure it is
locked in place.

even a minor collision, a child not
in a proper seat or child-restraint
system and seat belt could be
thrown forward, back or even out
of the car resulting in serious
injuries or death. The child or
other objects in the baggage area
could be thrown into other
(Continued)
occupants and cause serious
injury. Never allow a passenger to
sit or stand on the folded seatback
while the vehicle is moving.

Children and the Folding RearSeat:Playing with the folding rear seat
is dangerous. The folding rear
