Passenger Folding Seatback

The front passenger’s seatback may fold

flat.

WARNING

If you fold the seatback forward to

carry longer objects, such as skis, be

sure any such cargo is not near an

airbag. In a crash, an inflating airbag

might force that object toward a per-

son. This could cause severe injury

or even death. Secure objects away

from the area in which an airbag

would inflate. For more information,
