If the cables are not stored away in the
armrest box, the cables and connection
devices may become damaged when
storing the armrest.

damaged.
▼ Third-row Seat Access
Occupants can get into and out of the
third-row seats easily by sliding the
second-row seats forward.
WARNING
Make sure there is nobody in the
second-row seat area before operating a
lever or pressing a switch:
Not checking the second-row seat area for
persons before folding a seatback with a
lever or switch is dangerous. The
second-row seat area is difficult to see from
the rear of the vehicle. Operating a lever or
pressing a switch without checking could
cause injury to a person when a seatback
suddenly flips forward.
