B110A01Y-AATFOLDING REAR SEATBACKS
(If installed)
o To unlock the seatback, depress the
seatback locking button, then pull forward on
the seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it has locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.
WARNING:The purpose of the folding rear seatbacks
is to allow you to carry longer objects than
could otherwise be accommodated. Do not
allow passengers to sit on top of the folded
down seatback while the car is moving as
this is not a proper seating position and no
seat belts are available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop. Objects carried
on the folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the front
seats. This could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.
B120A01Y-AATREAR SEATBACK LOCK
If the rear seatback lock lever (located on the
backside of the rear seatback) is in the "LOCK"
position when the rear seatbacks are closed, it
will not be possible to fold the rear seatback by
using the release lock lever. In this instance,
move the lock lever to the "FREE" position and
fold the rear seatback. The rear seatback lock
lever is designed to provide protection from
unauthorized entry into the trunk.HEF-135HEF-137

B150E01A-AATInjured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is nec-
essary, you should consult a physician for
recommendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should never
attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of an
accident.
WARNING:Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your seat
belts can't do their job when you're re-
clined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job because
it won't be against your body.
Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash
you could go into it with great force, receiv-
ing serious neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen.
The belt forces would be applied there, not
at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit back in the seat and wear your seat
belt properly.
B150G02A-AATDo Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event of
an accident, and to achieve maximum effective-
ness of the restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should
be in an upright position when the car is moving.
A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if
the person is lying down in the rear seat or if the
front seat is in a reclined position.
B160A01A-AATCARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disassembled
or modified. In addition, care should be taken to
assure that seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or other abuse.
WARNING:When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after the rear seatback was
folded down, be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Be sure that
the webbing or buckle does not get caught
or pinched in the rear seat.
B160B01A-AATPeriodic Inspection
It is recommended that all seat belts be in-
spected periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Parts of the system that are damaged
should be replaced as soon as possible.
B160C01A-AATKeep Belts Clean and Dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry. If belts
become dirty, they can be cleaned by using a
mild soap solution and warm water. Bleach, dye,
strong detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and weaken
the fabric.
