CAUTION
■
When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●
Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with a
manual transmission).
●
Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
●
Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
●
For vehicles with a split rear seats, do not allow anyone sit on the rear cen-
ter seat if the rear right seat is folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the
rear center seat belt is then concealed under the folded seat and cannot
be used.
●
Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks.
●
If it is necessary to detach the head restraints, remove it from the vehicle
or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from
injuring passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
●
Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the
front seat.
