Split Folding Rear Seat (If Equipped)
The rear aseatbacks fold froward to provide additional
cargo space and to provide an access to the trunk area.
 To fold the rear seatback(s) down, pull the unlock
knob located in the top of the seatbacks, then fold
the seatback forward and down.
 To raise the seatback, lift and push it firmly until it
clicks into place.
 When you return the seatback to its original posi-
tion, reposition the rear safety belts so that they can
be used by rear seat passengers.

or sit or recline on folded seatbacks while

Knowing Your Vehicle3-28Placement of a Child Restraint System
We recommend that, whenever possible, you put the
child restraint system in the center position of the rear
seat and secure it to the vehicle with the lap belt.
If the center rear seat is not available, or you are using
more than one child restraint system in the vehicle at
the same time, the rear outboard safety belts have been
designed to allow a child restraint system to be used in
these positions. Since those seats normally lock only
under extreme or emergency conditions (emergency
lock mode) you must manually adjust those belts to the
auto lock mode.Installing a Child Restraint System in the Rear
Outboard Seats

WARNING - Child Restraints
 Children will be endangered in a crash if
their child restraint systems are not proper-
ly secured by the safety belts in the vehicle.
 According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions rather than the front seat-
ing positions.
 When a child restraint system is not secured
by a safety belt, store it in the trunk so that
it will not be thrown forward in the event of
a sudden stop or accident.

Knowing Your Vehicle3-34Tether Anchor Installation
Your vehicle is equipped with an anchor for securing
the tether strap of a child restraint system (child seat).
The child restraint anchor fittings are installed on the
shelf behind the rear seat or in the trunk on the inboard
side of the rear bumper in the 5-door hatchback.
2FDA304/2FDA305
Child Seat Anchorage PositionFor small children and babies, the use of a child seat or
infant seat is strongly recommended. This child seat or
infant seat should be of appropriate size for the child
and should be installed in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions. It is further recommended that
the seat be placed in the vehicle’s rear seat since this
can make an important contribution to safety. Your
vehicle is provided with three child restraint hook
holders on the package tray behind the rear seat for
installing the child seat or infant seat.
WARNING - Child Restraint
Placement
Never use a child restraint in the front passen-
ger seat. A child in a child restraint installed in
the front passenger seat can be severely or
fatally injured by an air bag which could
impact the child restraint with great force
when the air bag inflates.
WARNING
If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child restraint seat may not be restrained
properly in the event of a collision.

WARNING -Exhaust Fumes
No one should be allowed to occupy the trunk
of the vehicle at any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally closed and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation, fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure due to cold
weather conditions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected occupant space and
is instead part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
