Returning the backrest to the upright
position
1. Fold up the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
2. Grasp the strap (see illustration 3) and
pull the seat cushion out until it locks in
place. This also locks the backrest in the
upright position.
WARNING
•
When one or more sections of the
backrest is returned to the upright
position, check that it is properly
locked in place by pushing and pulling
it. The red indicators should also not
be visible.
•
Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•
Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
•
Always turn the engine off and apply
the parking brake when loading/
unloading the vehicle.
•
Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of
time can cause heat-related injury or
death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
