Armrest (if equipped)
To use the armrest, pull it forward from
the seatback. C010307BFD
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions) may be
folded to facilitate carrying long items orto increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever load-ing or unloading cargo. Vehiclemay move if shift lever is inadver- tently moved to another position.
Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seatsto prevent damage to the vehicleinterior.
When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure thecargo is properly secured to pre-vent it from moving while driving.Unsecured cargo in the passen-
ger compartment can cause dam-age to the vehicle or injury to it’soccupants.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks (or cushions) is to allow
you to carry longer objects thancould otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injuryor death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.

2. To use the rear seat, lift and push theseatback backward firmly until it clicks
into place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place (red invisible).
3. Return the rear seat belt to the proper position.
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being
folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seatback. Otherwise, in
an accident or sudden stop, the
seat could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger com-
partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION - Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, rememberto return the rear shoulder belts totheir proper position.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if shift lever is inadvertent-
ly moved to another position.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.Special care should be taken ofobjects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.

Side air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle's driv-er and/or the front passenger with addi-
tional protection than that offered by the
seat belt alone.
OFD037020
OED036107
(Continued)
If driver brakes the vehicle heavi-
ly in an urgent situations, occu-
pants will be thrown forward. If
front passengers are not wearing
the seat belts, they will be direct-
ly in front of the air bags when
inflation occurs. In that situation,
severe injury or death is possi-
ble.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands or feet on theinstrument panel or put their face
close to the instrument panel. The
air bag will impact the front pas-
senger when it inflates.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow children/old and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Do not put child
restraint system on the front pas-
senger’s seat either. They may be
seriously injured by the air bag
inflation when air bag deploys.
Do not put objects or stickers on the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory on the frontwindshield glass or do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory installed
rearview mirror. These may inter-
fere with the deployment of air
bag inflation or could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and evendeath.
353
Safety system of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers often brakeheavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions. Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupants.
However, side and/or curtain air bags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision, if the
vehicle is equipped with side air bags
and curtain air bags. Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.

WARNING
- Unlocked
vehicles
Leaving your vehicle unlocked can
invite theft or possible harm to you
or others from someone hiding in
your vehicle while you are gone.
Always remove the ignition key,
engage the parking brake, close all
windows and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
WARNING - Unattended
children
An enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
severe injury to unattended chil-dren or animals who cannot escape
the vehicle. Furthermore, children
might operate features of the vehi-
cle that could injure them, or they
could encounter other harm, possi-
bly from someone gaining entry to
the vehicle. Never leave children or
animals unattended in your vehicle.WARNING - Doors
The doors should always be fully closed and locked while the vehi-
cle is in motion to prevent acci-
dental opening of the door.
Locked doors will also discour-
age potential intruders when the
vehicle stops or slows.
Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles, motorcy-
cles, bicycles or pedestrians
approaching the vehicle in the
path of the door. Opening a door
when something is approaching
can cause damage or injury.
WARNING
Occupants must not be allowed to
remain in the vehicle when the
deadlocking system is activated
since it will not be possible for
them, or persons outside the vehi-
cle, to open the doors and leave the
vehicle in case of an emergency.
