Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

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

collision.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. We recom-

mend that your chest be at least

10 inches (250 mm) away from

the steering wheel.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its

upright position, hold the seatback

and return it slowly and be sure

there are no other occupants

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could spring forward resulting in

accidental injury to a person struck

by the seatback.

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

Riding in a vehicle with seatback

reclined could lead to serious or

fatal injury in an accident. If a seat

is reclined during an accident, the

occupant’s hips may slide under

the lap portion of the seat belt

applying great force to the unpro-

tected abdomen. Serious or fatal

internal injuries could result. The

driver must advise the passenger

to keep the seatback in an upright

position whenever the vehicle is in

motion.

WARNING - Rear seat-

backs (2nd and/or 3rd row)

• The rear seatback must be

securely latched. If not, passen-

gers and objects could be thrown

forward resulting in serious

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 circumstances 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

in seats and restrained properly

while riding.
