When transporting cargo, do not allow the
cargo to exceed the height of the
seatback(s).

Transporting cargo stacked higher than the
seatback(s) is dangerous as visibility to the
rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced
which could interfere with driving
operations and lead to an accident.

Lowering the seatback(s)

CAUTION

Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback.
Depending on the position of a front seat, it
may not be possible to fold a rear seatback
all the way down because it may hit the
seatback of the front seat which could
scratch or damage the front seat or its
pocket. Lower or remove the head restraint
on the rear outboard seat if necessary.

not caught in the seatback and the 3-point
seat belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt is used while it is twisted and

cannot function at its full capacity, which
could cause serious injury or death.
