NOTICE
Folded Seatback
Do not sit on folded down seatbacks.

-
backs is to allow you to carry longer
objects that could not otherwise be
accommodated.
僅 Never allow a passenger to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while the
car is moving. This is not a proper
seating position since the seat has
important crash protection features
and seat belts are not available in this
seat configuration.
僅 To reduce the risk of injury caused by
sliding cargo within the passenger
compartment of the vehicle, objects
carried on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than the top
of the front seats.
WARNING
Objects

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.
To fold 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
