Safety features of your vehicle
僅 If the 4th row seatback's folding strap
is pulled whilst either passenger, pet,
or luggage is in the seat, the folded
4th row seats will cause harm to the
occupant or luggage. Before fully
folding down the 4th row seats,
always make sure there is no passen-
ger, pet, luggage in the seats.
僅 When the 4th row seatback is pulled
up to upright positions but not locked
into place, the seatback may move
suddenly. Always release the strap to
securely lock the seatback in position.
僅 Underneath the 4th row seats, there is
equipment for stowing. Prevent get-
ting any part of the body or clothing
caught in the crevice under the seats.
CAUTION
Prior to adjusting the 4th row seats,
move the 3rd row seats and seatbacks
to the desired position beforehand. The
seatbacks may clash whilst folding and
unfolding and result in damage.
WARNING
Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to pre-
vent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and may hit the
front seat occupants in a collision.

WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the shift
lever or dial is in P (Park) position, and
the parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift lever or dial is
inadvertently moved to another position.
WARNING
4th row seat
4th row occupants should always
remain in the centre of the seat cushion
so the occupants' heads are protected
by the headrest. If not, the tailgate may
hit the occupant's head, which could
cause injury.
