Registering a child restraint
Child restraints could be recalled for safety
reasons. You must register your child restraint
to be reached in a recall. To stay informed
about child safety seat recalls, be sure to fill out
and return the registration card that comes
with new child restraints.
Child restraint recall information is readily avail-
able in both the U.S. and Canada. For recall
information in the U.S., call the U.S. Govern-
ment's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
In Canada, visit Transport Canada's Child
Safety website at http://www.tc.gc.ca/

CAUTION
The rear head restraints should not be kept
folded down for prolonged periods. This
could result in pressure marks in leather
upholstery.
WARNING
For safety reasons, no one should be
allowed to sit in the outboard rear seat posi-
tions if the head restraints are folded down.
If these positions are occupied, the head
restraints should be in the upright (fixed)
position.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests are split and can be folded
down together or separately
1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the cen-
ter seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
When the backrests are folded down, move
the outboard head restraints forward
slightly so that they do not catch on the seat
cushion.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to the upholstery,
there should be no objects on the rear seat
and the seat belt should not be buckled
when the backrest is folded down.
WARNING
•Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock them-
selves in an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short
period of time can cause heat-related
injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk.

WARNING
•When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place
by pushing and pulling it. The red indi-
cators should also not be visible.
•Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
•Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
•Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
