Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Do not pull the strap when the 2nd-row
seats are occupied.
Sudden movement of the seats may
result in injury. Use the strap only when
the folding switch in the 2nd row (in the
upper part of the second-row seatback
or the outer part of the seat) does not
work.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
NOTICE
Folded seatback
Do not sit on folded down seatbacks.
The purpose of the fold-down rear seat-
backs is to allow you to carry longer
objects that could not otherwise be
accommodated.
僅 Never allow a passenger to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while the
car is moving. This is not a proper
seating position since the seat has
important crash protection features
and seat belts are not available in this
seat configuration.
僅 To reduce the risk of injury caused by
sliding cargo within the passenger
compartment of the vehicle, objects
carried on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than the top
of the front seats.

CAUTION
Blocked Hybrid battery duct
Do not put objects on the left side of rear
seats. This could block the battery cool-
ing duct causing battery degradation.
1. Insert the rear seat belt buckle in the
pocket between the rear seatback
and cushion, and insert the rear seat
belt webbing in the guide to prevent
the seat belt from being damaged.
