Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits well back and upright in the seat. Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions. Doing so increases the risk of sliding under the lap belt or the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen, which can result in serious internal injury or death.
Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the seatback because it could tumble forward and injure passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
To lower the armrest, pull on the top edge of the armrest.
To avoid serious injury, passengers must never be allowed to sit on the center armrest.
