2-28 Seat and restraint systems
2Making a cargo area
N00405500091
NOTE

When the seatback of a front seat is reclined, return it to
the upright position before driving.
WA R N I N G
!

Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when
the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats could
move more than necessary or move suddenly and
cause a serious accident.


After folding up a seat or returning a seat back to its
normal position, make sure that the seat is firmly
secured. If the seat is not secured, it could move and
cause a serious accident.


Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while
the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properly
seated and restrained can be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.


The front passenger seat is equipped with weight
sensors. Depending on the weight detected, the front
passenger airbag is disabled or enabled. When fold-
ing the second row seats forward for increased cargo
capacity, the front passenger seat and seat back
must be adjusted to assure they are not contacting
the second row seat. In the event the front seat or
seatback is allowed to contact the folded second row
seat, proper operation of the front passenger airbag
system may be affected.
CAUTION
!

In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher
than the top of the seats and make sure that the lug-
gage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or fly-
ing objects entering the passenger compartment
during sudden braking could result in a serious acci-
dent.


Seats should always be folded up and put back into
the normal position by an adult. Seat adjustments
by a child could lead to an unexpected accident.


When adjusting the seats, be careful not to catch
your hand or leg. Personal injury could result.

the batteries, of: →→→


Make sure that the connection is made to the
engine properly. If the connection is directly made to
the negative terminal of the battery, the flammable
gases from inside the battery might catch fire and
explode, causing personal injury.


When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks can make the battery explode.CAUTION

!

Charging your battery while it is still in your vehicle
might cause the battery to catch fire and explode. If
you have to charge it while in the vehicle, disconnect
the negative (-) terminal.


Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.


Keep your work area well vented when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space.


Remove all the caps before charging the battery.


Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corrosive
diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact
with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted sur-
face of your vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
and thoroughly with water, and get prompt medical
attention.


Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
working near the battery.

As your vehicle has anti-lock brakesIf you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the
engine has been started by using jumper cables, the engine may
misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning
light to blink on and off. This is only due to the low battery
voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the charging system is
operating properly.
