CAUTION
When operating the seat, be careful not
to get your hand or foot caught, or hit
your head.
Before moving the second-row seat,
make sure that the head restraint is at
the lowest position. If the second-row
seat is folded forward while the head
restraint is pulled up, there will not be
enough space for getting in or out of the
vehicle which could cause an occupant
to trip and fall resulting in injury.
Check the position of a front seat before
folding a second-row seatback.
Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold a
second-row seatback all the way down
because it may hit the seatback of the
front seat which could scratch or
damage the front seat or its pocket.
Remove the head restraint on the
second-row outboard seat if necessary.
