REAR SEATS

(If Equipped)

WARNINGS

Do not use the bench seats as a bed
when your vehicle is moving. Failure
to follow this warning could result in

serious personal injury or death.

Do not place any objects on a folded
seat. Hard objects may become
projectiles in a crash or sudden stop,

which may increase the risk of serious
personal injury.

Note: Rear seat arrangements vary
depending on the vehicle.

Recline Adjustment

(If Equipped)

WARNINGS

When reclining the seat backrest
forward and backward, take care not
to get your hands caught between

the seat backrest and the frame, catches
or mechanism. Failure to take care may
result in personal injury.

WARNINGS

Make sure that any cargo or objects
are not trapped behind the seat
backrest. Make sure the seatbelts

are not trapped in any way when unfolding
the seat backrest up. Failure of an
occupant to be able to use a trapped
seatbelt increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death.

Make sure that the seat backrest is
fully engaged in its catch. A seat
backrest which is not fully engaged

in its catch could move in the event of an
accident. This may result in serious
personal injury or death.
