When transporting cargo, do not allow the
cargo to exceed the height of the
seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than
the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to
the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced
which could interfere with driving
operations and lead to an accident.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
¾
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with your
hand. If it is not supported by a hand,
fi ngers or the hand pressing the push
knob could be injured.
¾ Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback.
Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold a rear
seatback all the way down because it
may hit the seatback of the front seat
which could scratch or damage the front
seat or its pocket. Remove the head
restraint on the rear outboard seat if
necessary.
¾
Before folding a rear seatback, make sure
that the armrest is stored. If a seatback is
lowered without storing the armrest, it
could deform, damage, or scratch the
armrest.
1. Lower the head restraint all the way
down.
Refer to Head Restraints on page
2-12.
2. Press the push knob to fold down the
seatback.

To return the seatback to its upright
position:
WARNING
When returning a seatback to its upright
position, make sure the 3-point seat belt is
not caught in the seatback and the 3-point
seat belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt is used while it is twisted and
caught in the seatback, the seat belt
cannot function at its full capacity, which
could cause serious injury or death.
