Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions)
may be folded to facilitate carrying
long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle.
•Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving as
this is not a proper seating posi
tion and no seat belts are avail
able for use. This could result in
serious injury or 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.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to prop
erly protect the occupants.
WARNING
OGC034019
•For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
•Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

NOTICE
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.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
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.

den stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the pas
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.

securely applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle

heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi
tions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is nontoxic, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and

longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an acci
dent in which the pretensioner seat
belts were activated.Additional seat belt safety pre
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be us ed
during pregnancy. The best way to
prot ect your u nborn child is to prot ect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lapshoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, rout
ed between your breasts and away
from your neck. Place the lap belt
below your belly so that it fits SNUGLY
across your hips and pelvic bone,
under the rou nded part of t he belly.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children to
tr av el in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can
be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and
where you are travelling. Infant and
Child Restraint System must be prop
erly placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.

Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your hips and chest to work properly. Duringan accident, you could be thrown into the seat belt, causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.
•NEVER ride with a reclined seat
back when the vehicle is moving.
•Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
•Driver and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seat
backs upright.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback has been folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or buck
le does not get caught or pinched
in the rear seat. A seat belt with
damaged webbing or buckle could
possibly fail during a collision or
sudden stop, resulting in serious
injury. If the webbing or buckles
are damaged, get them replaced
immediately.
