Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
When you return the rear seatback
to its upright position after being
folded down:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat-
back is completely locked into its
upright position by pushing on the
top of the seaback. Otherwise, in an
accident or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow cargo to
enter the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious injury
or death.
OHD036124L
CAUTION
- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks
to the upright position, remember
to return the rear center shoulder
belt to its proper position.
WARNING
- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Special care should be taken of
objects placed in the rear seats,
since those may hit the front seat
occupants in a frontal collision.
WARNING -
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transaxle is in P or the
manual transaxle is in neutral and
the parking brake is applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if shift
lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
