Safety system of your vehicle
• When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position.
• Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides
will help keep the seat belts from
being trapped behind or under
the seats.
NOTICE
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and may
hit the front seat occupants in a
collision.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat-
back 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 seatback is completely
locked into its upright position
by pushing on the top of the
seatback. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow
cargo to enter the passenger
compartment,
which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is securely applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.
