WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision and
causing injury to the vehicle occu-
pants. Do not place objects in the
rear seats, since they cannot be
properly secured and may hit the
front seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
Automated manual transmission
is in N (Neutral) or the Manual
transmission is in R (Reverse) or
1st, and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever loading
or unloading cargo. Failure to take
these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadver-
tently moved to another position.
Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The
headrests provide comfort for pas-
sengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passen-
gers from whiplash and other neck
and spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when adjust-
ing your headrests:
• Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
