Flexible seating
WARNING
● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints 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. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
● Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
● Head restraints should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident.
Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.
● If the head restraints are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
