on folded down seatbacks or in the
luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage
compartment is dangerous because
seat belts cannot be fastened which
could lead to serious injury or death
during sudden braking or a collision

vehicle with the seatbacks lowered.
Allowing children to play in the
vehicle with the seatbacks folded
down is dangerous, If a child enters
the luggage compartment and the

child may become trapped in the
luggage compartment which could
lead to an accident.
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported
with the seatbacks folded down.

cargo and luggage is dangerous as it
could move and become an
obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision
resulting in an unexpected accident.
