for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause
serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the
locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a
