Essential Safety Equipment
Seats
Never put your hands and fingers around
the moving parts of the seat and armrest:
Putting your hands and fingers around the
moving parts of the seat and armrest is
dangerous as they could get injured.
CAUTION
Be careful not to apply excessive force to
the armrest such as by sitting on it.
Otherwise, it could be deformed or
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 the
levers:
Not checking the second-row seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks with
the levers is dangerous. The second-row
seat area is difficult to see from the rear of
the vehicle. Operating the levers without
checking could cause injury to a person
when a seatback suddenly flips forward.

CAUTION
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.
NOTE
Occupants can also get in and out of the
third-row seat area by passing between the
second-row seats with the armrest type
having the angle adjustment function.
Occupants can pass through easily by
tilting the armrest forward.
Entering/exiting the third-row seat area
1. Lower the head restraint all the way
down.
Refer to Head Restraints on page
2-28.
2. Pull up the lever on the side of the
head restraint to unlock the seat, fold
the seatback forward, and slide the seat
forward.
