Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is
off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

WARNING

Sitting improperly or out of position can

Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.

Folding Down the Rear Seats

1

Folding Down the Rear Seats

The rear seat-back(s) can be folded down to
accommodate bulkier items in the cargo area.

When you fold down one side of the rear seats and
use the non-recessed part of the cargo area, make
sure to secure the cargo. Loose items can fly forward
and cause injury if you have to brake hard.

Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.

2 Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator P. 56

The front seat(s) must be far enough forward so they
do not interfere with the rear seats as they fold
down.

Make sure all items in the cargo area or items
extending to the rear seats are properly
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have
to brake hard.
