WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects than could not other
-
wise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on top
of the folded down seatback whilst
the car is moving as 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 sud
-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.
The rear seatbacks may be folded
forward to provide additional cargo
space and to provide access to the
cargo area.
䳜 To raise the seatback, lift and
push it firmly until it clicks into
place.
䳜 When you return the seatback to
its upright position, reposition the
rear safety belts so that they can
be used by rear seat passengers.
WARNING
Do not fold the rear seat, if the
driver's position is not properly set
according to the driver's physical
figure after folding the rear seat. A
sudden stop or collision may cause
injury.
CAUTION
䳜 When folding or unfolding the rear
seat, make sure to move the front
seat fully forward. If there are not
enough space to fold the rear
seat, never fold it by force. It will
cause damage to the headrest or
the related parts of the seat.
䳜 Before using the seat belt, be sure
to remove it from the holder. If
you pull out the seat belt whilst
it's in the holder, it may damage
the seat belt or holder.
䳜 Use the holder only when there is
no passengers in the rear seat or
when you need to fold the rear
seat.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. When folding the seat back, insert
the rear seat belt buckle in the
pocket between the rear seatback
and cushion then make sure both
seatbelts do not interfere with
stowed luggage and cargo. Then,
insert the seat belt into the two
holes located on both sides.
