WARNING- Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING - Driver
responsibility for front seat
passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined
during an accident, the occu-
pant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt
applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result. The driver must
advise the front passenger to
keep the seatback in an upright
position whenever the vehicle isin motion.

WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internalinjuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.

(Continued)
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel whilst maintaining
comfortable control of the
vehicle. It is recommended
that your chest is at least 250
mm (10 inches) away from thesteering wheel.WARNING - Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat whilst the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er 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
portion 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- Rear
seatbacks
The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in seri-
ous 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 circum-
stances 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.

ing. This is not a proper seatingposition and no seat belts are
available for use. This could
result in serious injury or deathin case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top
of the front seatbacks. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.
