Introduction
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
vehicle were operating;
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
ing.These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Driver’s seat
 Never attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
 Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
 Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
(Continued)WARNING- Loose
objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING- Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a seat is reclined during
an accident, the occupant’s
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback return it slowly and be
sure there are no other occu-
pants around the seat. If the
seatback is returned without
being held and controlled, the
back of the seat could spring
forward resulting in accidental
injury to a person struck by the
seatback.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.

Safety features of your vehicle
Rear seat
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the
upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Pull out the seatback locking knob
(1) in the trunk or the strap (2) at
the center of the rearseat.
WARNING 
The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects than could
otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down seat-
back 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 injury or death
in case of an accident or sud-
den 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.OBK039014
OBK039032
CAUTION
To discourage theft, only use
the seatback locking strap(2) at
the center of the rear seat in an
emergency situation(The bat-
tery is discharged). Hide the
strap so it is not always visible.

3. Remove the belt webbing from the
rear shoulder belt guide and move
the rear belt webbing to the out-
side so it does not interfere with
the seatback when folding.4. Fold the seat toward the front of
the vehicle.
5. When returning the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it
has locked into position by firmly
pushing on the top of the seat-
back.
6. Insert the belt webbing in the rear
shoulder belt guide.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the seat belt locks when the seat-
back is folded, and pull out the
locked seat belt then release it.
OBK032015OBK032067
WARNING 
When you return the rear seat-
back 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 seatback is completely
locked into its upright position
by pushing on the top of the
seatback. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger
compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
