the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its

top of the seatback. Otherwise, in
an accident or sudden stop, the
seat could fold down and allow

partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.

If the tailgate is pushed down when
the passenger's head is not against
a properly adjusted headrest, the
tailgate may hit the occupant's
head, which could cause injury.
