ONQ5E021090L
4 8
Be careful when you fold the 2nd row
right side seat, if the centre seat is
folded. It may cause injury or damage
to you.
僅 Never attempt to adjust whilst the
vehicle is moving or the rear seat is
occupied as the seat may suddenly
move and cause the passenger on the
seat to be injured.
僅 The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects that could not be
accommodated in the cargo area.
Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback whilst
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death in case
of an accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded down
seatback 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.
僅 Do not fold the rear seats if passen -
gers, pets or luggage are in the rear
seats. It may cause injury or damage
to passengers, pets or luggage.
僅 When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly. If the seatback is
returned without holding it, the back
of the seat could spring forward
resulting in injury caused by being
struck by the seatback.
僅 Cargo should always be secured to
prevent 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 cannot be properly secured and
