Safety features of your vehicle
for use. This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seats. This
could allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during sudden
stops.
The rear seatbacks may be folded for-
ward to provide additional cargo space
and to provide access to the cargo area.
僅 To raise the seatback, lift and push it
firmly until it clicks into place.
僅 When you return the seatback to its
upright position, reposition the rear
safety belts so that they can be used
by rear seat passengers.
WARNING
Do not fold the rear seat, if the driver's
position is not properly set according to
the driver's physical figure after folding
the rear seat. A sudden stop or collision
may cause injury.
CAUTION
僅 When folding or unfolding the rear
seat, make sure to move the front
seat fully forward. If there is not
enough space to fold the rear seat,
never fold it by force. It will cause
damage to the headrest or the related
parts of the seat.
僅 Before using the seat belt, be sure to
remove it from the holes located on
both sides of seat back. If you pull out
the seat belt whilst it's in the holes, it
may damage the seat belt or the
holes.
僅 Use the holes only when there is no
passengers in the rear seat or when
you need to fold the rear seat.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. When folding the seat back, insert the
rear seat belt buckle in the pocket
between the rear seatback and cush-
ion then make sure both seatbelts do
not interfere with stowed luggage and
cargo. Then, insert the seat belt into
the two holes located on both sides.
