When returning the rear seatback from a folded to an upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. In a collision or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback could allow cargo to move forward with great force and enter the passenger compartment, which could result in serious injury or death.

Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit vehicle occupants in a collision causing serious injury or death.

  • Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.

  • When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the cargo is properly secured to prevent it from moving while driving.

  • Unsecured cargo in the passenger compartment can cause damage to the vehicle or injury to it's occupants.

  3. If the seatback does not fold down completely, push it to make sure it's fully folded.

Always check for any occupants or passengers in the rear seats before folding. Do not fold the seat if there are pets, luggage, passengers sitting in the rear seats, or when passengers are out of the vehicle. A sudden movement of the seat may cause injury.
