Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold-Flat
Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains
some rear seating room.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a
collision. Remember that the rear doors
can only be opened from the outside when
the Child-Protection locks are engaged
(locked).
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli -
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which
could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
