CAUTION
When returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position,
make sure you hold onto the
seatback with your other hand while
operating the lever. If the seatback is
not supported, it will flip forward
suddenly and could cause injury.
q
Armrest
The armrest can be used or placed upright.
WARNING
Never position the shoulder portion of
a second-row seat belt over the
armrest:
Positioning the shoulder portion of a
second-row seat belt over the
armrest is dangerous as it cannot
provide adequate protection in a
collision and could result in serious
injuries.

seatback and sliding the seat forward, you
can access the third-row seat easily.
Entering/exiting the third-row seat area
Raise the lever on the side of the second-
row seat or pull the strap behind the
second-row seat to fold the seatback
forward and slide the seat forward.
After entering/exiting the third-row
seat area
Return the second-row seatback to its
upright position and lock it after sliding it
backward. Make sure it is locked by
attempting to lightly move it forward and
backward.
