CAUTION
■
When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

●
Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●
Do not fold seatbacks down while passengers are seated or luggage is placed on
the seats.
●
Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to
P.
●
After folding the seatback, lightly move the seat back and forth to lock it in place.

■
Seat adjustment
●
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
●
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
■
After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rearward on
the top.
●
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
