WARNING

When folding the rear seatbacks down

■
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 (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
●
■ Seat adjustment
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, 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.
Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear console box
●
and the second seat when folding down the seatback.
■

After returning the rear seatback to the upright position

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward on the top. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE

Stowing the seat belts

■
The seat belts and the buckles must be stowed before you fold down the
rear seatbacks.
