Rear seats
WARNING
Never drive the vehicle with the head rest removed because
they are designed to reduce the risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck from the rear. Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat. Do not put cushions or anyother materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cush-ions. If you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of thelap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both canresult in serious internal injury or death. Never allow passengers to ride on the folded rear seatback or
in the cargo area. Doing so may result in serious injury or death. Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the
seatback because it could tumble forward and injure passengersin the event of a sudden stop or accident. Secure skis and other lengthy items properly to prevent them
from shooting forward and causing serious injury during a sud-den stop a sudden steering or a rapid acceleration.
