CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver and the pas-
senger are sitting up straight and
well back in the seats. If you are
reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in
the event of a frontal collision, the
risk of personal injury may increase
with increasing recline of the seat-
back.

Fold- down rear seat
(A) FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT
1. To unlock the seatback, pull the le-
ver in the luggage compartment.
2. Fold down the seatback.
Each seatback may be folded separately.
On vehicles with built- in child restraint,
only the left seatback can be folded down.
This will enlarge the trunk room as far as
the seatbacks. See "Luggage stowage pre-
cautions" in Part 2 for precautions to ob-
serve in loading luggage.
NOTICE
Make sure the luggage loaded in the
enlarged trunk room will not damage
the webbing of the rear center seat
belt when the left seatback is folded
down.
