Rear seats

Introduction
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the rear seats can cause
accidents and severe injuries.
·
Adjust the rear seats only when the vehicle is
stopped, since the seat could otherwise move
unexpectedly when the vehicle is moving.
·
Adjust the rear seats only if no one is in the
way.
·
Always guide the backrest down by hand and
never let it fall into place on its own.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit uninten-
tionally, or crushed causing a fire that can result in
serious burns and vehicle damage.
·
Before closing a storage compartment, always
make sure that no cigarette lighter can be acti-
vated, crushed, or otherwise damaged.
·
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage com-
partment, on the instrument panel, or in other
places in the vehicle. Heat buildup in the pas-
senger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle
that are much higher than the outside tempera-
tures, particularly in summer. High tempera-
tures could cause the cigarette lighter to catch
fire.
NOTICE
Sharp-edged objects and items on clothing and belts
(such as belt clips, mobile phone cases, zippers, riv-
ets, and rhinestones) can damage upholstery materi-
al and fabric trim.
·
To help prevent damage, do not let such items
come into direct contact with the upholstery and
fabric trim.
