FOLDING REAR SEAT
Interior trunk access
(if so equipped)
The trunk can be accessed from the rear
seat for loading and unloading, as shown.
WARNING
cNever allow anyone to ride in the
luggage area or on the rear seat
when it is in the fold-down position.
Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could resultin serious injury in an accident or
sudden stop.
cProperly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
cWhen returning seatbacks to the up-
right position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position.cClosely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback se-
curely latched, when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car
keys.

When using the fold down rear seatback,
the rear center seat belt retractor may lock
up and prevent folding down the seatback.
If the rear center seat belt retractor has
inadvertently locked up, push the seat belt
webbing toward the retractor as shown in
the above illustration. This will unlock the
seat belt retractor and allow the rear seat-
back to fold down.HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUST-
MENT
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To
lower, push and hold the lock knob and
push the head restraint down.
WARNING
Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide significant
protection against injury in an accident.
Do not remove them. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat.
Adjust the head restraints so the center is
level with the center of your ears.
