WARNING
.If you fold the front passenger’s
seatback down to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might
force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or
even death. Secure objects away
from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. See “PRECAUTIONS
ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM” later in this section.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passen-
ger’s seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas
by passengers could result in ser-
ious injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
SSS0797
REAR SEATS
FoldingBefore folding the rear seats:
.Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” later
in this section.)
. Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and store
the connector and seat belt tongues into the
retractor base on the ceiling. (See “Rear
center seat belt” later in this section.)
To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the adjusting knob
*A
. To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
WARNING
.
Do not use the rear seat belts when
the buckles are stowed in the seat
pockets. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any objects are on the rear
seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
