REAR SEAT SAFETY

Make sure that you have read and fully understood the following warnings before using any of the features in this section. Failure to observe cautions and warnings may result in vehicle damage, injury, or DEATH in the event of an accident.

• Always make sure that objects carried in the vehicle are secured properly.
• Never allow passengers to travel in the loadspace under any circumstances. All vehicle occupants should be seated correctly and wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion.
• Make sure the locking mechanism is fully engaged when the seatback is raised.
• Make sure the seat belts are correctly routed and not trapped behind the seats when raising the rear seatbacks.
• Make sure the head restraints are raised to the correct position before the seats are used by a passenger. The head restraint must be positioned correctly to restrain rearward movement of the head in a collision.
• Always take note of the safety warnings and labels attached to the rear seats. The labels give advice on safely folding and raising the rear seats.
• Before folding a rear seat, make sure that the seat is not occupied. Make sure that no other occupant has any part of the body on the seat cushion. Make sure no one reaches into the area of the seat being folded. Pay particular attention when one seat is already folded.
• Beware of trapping fingers when raising and lowering the rear seatbacks.
• Take care when retrieving items that have fallen down the side, back, front or underneath the seat. Sharp objects may be present in these areas, which could present a risk of injury. Always stop the vehicle before retrieving items.
