Fold the rear seatbacks down to carry long objects that the tailgate cannot accommodate. Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatbacks whilst the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and the seat belts are unavailable. This might result in serious injury or death in the case of an accident or a sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend above the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow the luggage to slide forward and cause injury or damage during a sudden stop.

Do not fold the rear seats if passengers, pets, or luggage are in the rear seats. This might cause injury or damage to passengers, pets, or luggage.

Always secure luggage to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle’s occupants. Do not place objects in the rear seats because they cannot be properly secured and might hit the front seat occupants in a collision.
