ing. There is a risk of an accident and injury.

When adjusting a seat, you or another vehicle

The rear bench seat will not engage when fol-
ded forward. The rear bench seat may inad-
vertently fold backward while accelerating,
braking, changing direction suddenly or in the
event of an accident, for example. People
within the sweep of the rear bench seat may

Before driving off, always fold back the rear
bench seat if it is folded forward. Make sure
that the rear bench seat is fully engaged.
The only way to ensure that the rear bench seat
will engage securely is to always keep the seat
anchorages clean and free of foreign objects.
The rear seat leg is only engaged when the red
indicator tab is no longer visible and is fully
retracted into the seat leg.
