!WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the event of a collision or a sudden stop, both the driver and passenger seatbacks should always be in anupright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags in afrontal collision may be reduced sig- nificantly when the seatbacks are reclined. There is greater risk thatthe driver and passenger will slide under the seat belt which may result in serious injury if a crash occurswhen the seatbacks are reclined. The seat belt cannot provide full protec- tion to an occupant if the seatback isreclined.!WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of theheadrest is at the same height of the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, thecenter of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjustthe headrest as close to your head as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds thebody away from the seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe in-jury to the occupants may occur in the event of an accident. Head-rests may provide protection against neck injuries when prop- erly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest posi- tion of the driver's seat while thevehicle is in motion.

B110A02MC-AAT Folding Rear Seatbacks (If Installed) The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to in-crease the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rearseatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwise be accommodated. Never allow passengers to sit on topof the folded down seatback or cargo area while the car is moving as this is not a proper seating position andno seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sud-den stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of thefront seats. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.To fold down the seatback :
1. Slide the front seats forward and adjust the front seatbacks to be up- right before folding the rear seatbacks down.
2. Lower the rear seat headrests to the lowest position.
