Cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to
occupants. Secure the load to help prevent shifting during
sudden stops.
Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure
that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback.
After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the
seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may
become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
