When returning a seatback to its upright
position, make sure that it is firmly locked
and the red indication is not visible (5–
Door).
If the red indication is visible behind the
push knob, it means the seatback is not
locked. If the vehicle is driven without the
seatback locked, it could fold down
suddenly and cause an accident.
