Driver’s seat
•
Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
•
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
•
Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
This is the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.

WARNING

•
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
Rear seatbacks
•
The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen-
gers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in seri-
ous injury or death in the event
of a sudden stop or collision.
•
Luggage and other cargo
should be laid flat in the cargo
area. If objects are large, heavy,
or must be piled, they must be
secured. Under no circum-
stances should cargo be piled
higher than the seatbacks.
Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a sudden
stop, collision or rollover.
•
No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
