Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. If the seatback is
returned without holding it, the back of
the seat could spring forward resulting
in injury caused by being struck by the
seatback.
CAUTION
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or 3rd
row) seat back, insert the buckle in the
pocket between the rear seatback and
cushion. Doing so can prevent the
buckle from being damaged by the rear
seatback.
CAUTION
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd and/or 3rd
row) seatbacks to the up right position,
remember to return the rear shoulder
belts to their proper position. Routing
the seat belt webbing through the rear
seat belt guides will help keep the belts
from being trapped behind or under the
seats.
