CAUTION When returning the seatback to the upright position, observe the following in precautions order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop: SU13004 SU13110 D Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rearward on the top of the seatback. Failure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly. This will enlarge the trunk as far as the seatbacks.

NOTICE Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt when the left seatback is folded down. 30 2003 ECHO from Aug. '02 Prod. (OM52481U)
