Seats
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the vehicle.
WARNING:

-
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
-
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
