Toyota 2004 Sequoia Owner's Manual page 58

When a person sits in the third seat
center position, align both seatbacks at
the same angle.
CAUTION
Adjust both seat cushions to the
D
same position and align both seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits in the third seat center
position. Otherwise, the person can-
not wear the seat belt properly and
this may cause serious injuries in
a collision.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
D
the lap belt during a collision,
avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
passengers are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats. If you
are reclined, the lap belt may slide
past your hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen. In
the event of a frontal collision, the
more the seat is reclined, the great-
er the risk of personal injury.

BEFORE FOLDING UP THIRD SEATS
1. Stow the third seat belt buckles as
shown in the illustration.
This prevents the buckles from falling out
when you fold up the third seats.
NOTICE
The seat belt buckles must be stowed
before you fold up the third seats.
2. Make sure the shoulder belt passes
through the hanger when folding the
third seats.
This prevents the shoulder belt from being
damaged.
CAUTION
The seat belt must be removed from
the hanger when the seat belt is in
use.
