Safety features of your vehicle
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 occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) 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
automatic transaxle is in P
(Park) 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 inadvertently
moved to another position.
OUN026140
WARNING
If the liftgate (tailgate) is pushed
down to close it when a passen-
ger's head is not against a prop-
erly adjusted headrest or a tall
person is seated, the liftgate
(tailgate) may hit the occupant's
head, which could cause injury.
CAUTION
- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seatbacks 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 belts from being
trapped behind or under the
seats.
CAUTION -
Damaging
rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd
and/or 3rd row) seatback, insert
the buckle in the pocket
between the rear seatback and
cushion. Doing so can prevent
the buckle from being damaged
by the rear seatback.
