WARNING:o Before folding the seatback, place the
rear seat belt buckles in the buckle clips
on the seatback. This will prevent the
seat belt buckles from becoming cov-
ered by the seat cushion when it is re-
turned to the seating position.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, make sure
the seat belts are in position to be acces-
sible and to function properly.
o WARNING LABEL: When returning the
seat cushion to the seating position, place
the seat belt buckles on top of the cush-
ion.
o The purpose of the fold down rear seat
back and the fold forward rear seat cush-
ion is to increase cargo space. Do not
allow passengers to sit in the cargo area
while the car is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat belts
are available for use when the seat back
is folded down. Passengers who are not
properly seated and wearing seat belts
could sustain serious injuries or death in
case of an accident or a sudden stop.
o Objects should not extend higher than
the top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
o When you return the folded down seat
back to its upright position, always be
sure to place the rear seat belt buckles
on the seat cushion below the seatback.o When you return the folded down
seatback to its upright position, always
be sure to install the headrests in their
proper positions. Headrests are impor-
tant to the safety of occupants in a rear
collision. If the headrests are not in-
stalled in their proper position, serious
injury or death could result if a rear end
collision occurs.
B150B03Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats
must be properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. Information about the use of these
restraints begins on page 1-16.
WARNING:Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. In a collision, an unre-
strained child can become a "missile" in-
side the car. The force required to hold a
child on your lap could be so great that you
could not hold the child. Any child riding in
the vehicle should always be in a proper
restraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.
NOTE:Small children are best protected from in-
jury in an accident when properly restrained
in the rear seat by a child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buy-
ing any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. The re-
straint must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information. See page
1-16.
