firmly until it clicks into place.
2. Move and push the seat cushion downward firmly to the proper position.
3. Replace the rear seat belt to the prop- er position.CAUTION - Damaging rear
seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert the buckle between the rear
seatback and cushion. Doing socan prevent the buckle from beingdamaged by the rear seatback.
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback to its upright position after being

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 enter the passenger com-
partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.

Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
or the manual transaxle is in 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.
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.Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit the frontseat occupants in a collision.
CAUTION - Rear seat belts
