Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●
Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the trunk while driv-
ing.

■
When returning the seat to its original position (folding type)

Seat adjustment
●
Reclining type: To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a col-
lision, do not recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●
Folding type: Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear
console box and the rear seat when folding down the rear seatback.
■
After returning the seatback to the upright position (folding type)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pressing it forward and rear-
ward on the top.
●
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
●
Make sure that the seat belt is passed through its guide.
NOTICE
■
When the right seatback is folded down (folding type)
Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the
webbing of the rear center seat belt.
