row seat without having the head re-
straint unfolded and locked in place. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury
to the passenger in the event of a collision.
60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER

passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating
room if needed.

seat, make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to fold
easily.

cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
(Continued)(Continued)

passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat . In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
