Safety features of your vehicle
Folding down the rear seatback
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position.
WARNING
Objects
Objects carried on the folded down seat-
back should not extend higher than the
top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
CAUTION
When the seats in the 2nd-row are
folded to use the area as a cargo com-
partment, be sure to turn off the seat
heater. (if equipped)
3. When folding the seatback, insert the
rear seat belt buckle in the pocket
between the rear seatback and cush-
ion. Make sure both seat belts do not
interfere with stowed luggage and
cargo. Then, the seat belt webbing
should be placed in the webbing
guide to prevent the seat belt from
being damaged by loaded cargo, etc.
If the seat belt is loose, it may cause
damage or noise. In that case, return
the seatback to the upright position
and put the webbing out from the
guide to realign it.
4. Pull on the seatback folding lever (for
2nd row) or strap (for 3rd row), then
fold the seat toward the front of the
vehicle. When you return the seatback
to its upright position, always be sure
it has locked into position by pushing
on the top of the seatback.
