In a collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
• On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat. In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
To Fold The Seat
1. Locate the control lever on the lower outboard side
of the seat. (fig. 27)
2. Place one hand on the seatback and apply a gentle
pressure.
