WARNING

Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-

area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat

hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seat.

Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.

If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing
