Driver’s seat
•Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri
ous injury, or property damage.
•Do not allow anything to interfere
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
collision.
•Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por
tion 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 (Continued)
•In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle.
Rear seatbacks
•The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a sudden
stop or collision.
•Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
•No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.

Removal (if equipped)
To remove the headrest, raise it as far
as it can go then press the release
button (1) while pulling upward (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the
headrest poles (3) into the holes
while pressing the release button (1).
Then adjust it to the appropriateheight.
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.
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
•When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear shoulder belts to
their proper position.
•Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides
will help keep the seat belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.
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.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud
den stop, the seat could fold down
and allow cargo to enter the pas
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
manual transaxle is in R (Reverse)
or 1st, and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadver
tently moved to another position.

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.

Additional safety precautions
•
Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded
down back seat. All o ccupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor.
•
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats while the vehi
cle is moving. A passenger who is
not wearing a seat belt during a
crash or emergency stop can be
thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other occupants,
or out of the vehicle.
•
Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat
belt, they could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
•
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or repo
sition the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash. •
Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them
selves and the air bags.
Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap
or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an air bag inflates.
•
Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats
with their seat belts on and their
feet on the floor. If occupants are
too close to the air bag covers,
they could be injured if the air bags
inflate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on
or near the air bag covers. Any
object attached to or placed on the
front air bag covers could interfere
with the proper operation of the air
bags.
•
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the supplemental restraint system
sensing components. •
Do not place items under the front
seats.
Placing items under the
front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental
restraint system sensing compo
nents and wiring harnesses.
•
Never hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri
ously injured or killed in the event of
a crash. All infants and children
should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or
seat belts in the rear seat.
•Sitting improperly or out of posi
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc
ture or be thrown from the vehi
cle resulting in serious injury or
death.
•Always sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, cen
tered on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.
