# WARNING

Objects in the deployment zone of the center airbag can prevent it from functioning properly and cause serious or fatal injuries.

# WARNING

Serious or fatal injuries could be caused if the load- through hatch is folded forwards or backwards carelessly or in an uncontrolled way.

- Never fold the load-through hatch forwards or backwards while the vehicle is in motion.  
- Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the load-through hatch.

- Always make sure that the red mark on the locking indicator is never visible when the load-through hatch is in the upright position. The load-through hatch is not engaged properly if you can see a red marking.  
- Never transport a person, particularly a child, on this seat if the load-through hatch is folded forward or not securely engaged.
