Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down

seating position and no seat
belts are available 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 seatbacks. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.

senger seats to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle interior.
When cargo is loaded through
