—Luggage security system
(with fold−down rear seat)
This system deactivates the lock re-
lease lever so that things locked in the
trunk can be protected.
1. Push down the security lock levers
to lock the rear seatbacks.
On vehicles with built−in child restraint,
only the left seatback has a lock lever and
can be lowered. The right seatback can-
not be folded down.
After locking the rear seatbacks, try fold-
ing them down to make sure they are se-
curely locked, otherwise, someone could
get into the trunk by folding down a rear
seat.
