under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, observe the following
precautions:

position while the vehicle is in
motion.
- Do not place objects such as
cushions between the passenger
and the seatback.

the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding
up over the abdomen will increase,
and both can result in serious internal
injury or death.

cargo area cover, observe the following
precautions.
- Be careful not to pinch your hand
between the head restraint and
the cargo area cover when you
recline the rear seat.
- Move the front cover of the cargo
area cover backward so that the
cover is not damaged by the
reclined seatback. Refer to “Cargo
area cover” .
