from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked into

gear shifted to P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied

inadvertently pressed or rotated to
another position.

the rear passenger seats, ensure
the cargo is properly secured
to prevent it from moving while
driving.

seats, since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit vehicle
occupants in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
