Folding the passenger seat
Caution: If you need to fold the seatback forward to carry long items such as skis, make sure the load does not contact the airbag.
In a collision, an inflating airbag may throw an object at a person. This may cause serious injury or even death. Secure objects at a safe distance from the area that the airbag may occupy after deployment.
Caution: Items thrown over the seatback may strike and injure an occupant during a sudden stop, turn or collision. Remove or secure all items before driving.
