child's reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in an open trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play
in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can
cause heat-related injury or death. Small
children are particularly at risk.
When the backrest is returned to the upright
position, check that it is properly locked in
place. Return the head restraints to the
upright position.
Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the event of
a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading the
vehicle.
Place the transmission in the (P) ark position
(automatic transmission) to help prevent
inadvertent movement of the gear selector.

seat. This function is performed by handles
inside the trunk, and also provides a means

compartment in the event they become

Adults are advised to familiarize themselves
with the operation and location of the release
handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the
trunk, pull the release control handles
located on either side of the trunk.
