Fold−Down Rear Seat - Toyota 2003 Corolla Owner's Manual

CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver and the pas-
senger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are
reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. In the event
of a frontal collision, the more the
seat is reclined, the greater the risk
of personal injury.

2. Fold down the seatback.
Each seatback can be folded separately.
This will enlarge the trunk as far as the
seatbacks. See "Luggage stowage precau-
tions" on page 153 in Section 2 for pre-
cautions in loading luggage.
NOTICE
Make sure the luggage loaded in the
enlarged trunk will not damage the
webbing of the rear center seat belt
when the right seatback is folded
down.
