Rear Seat WARNING Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks or place articles on the rear package tray or on the luggage compartment cover: Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks, and placing articles on the rear seat or on the luggage compartment cover is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become projectiles that may hit and injure passengers. Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving: Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury. Do not drive with the seatback unlocked: All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle. Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After returning the seatback at any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place. 2-9
