UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 215 After releasing the seatback, it can be folded forward. WARNING! • Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury. • The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a collision. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system. 3 Folded Rear Seatback When the seatback is folded to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seatback above the seat strap.
