Warning!
Folded second-row seats are intended to
serve as a cargo volume expansion in
conjunction with folded third-row seats only.
Do not fold the second-row seats and allow
third-row seat occupants to use folded
second-row seats as a footrest while driving.
Third-row seat occupants must, like all vehicle
occupants, keep both feet on the floor in front
of their seat. Otherwise, occupants could
slide under their seat belt in a collision. If
occupants slide under the seat belt, it would
apply force at the abdomen or neck. That
could cause serious or even fatal injuries. Do
not fold the second-row seats and allow third-
row seat occupants to use folded second-row
seats as a table while driving. Objects placed
on folded second-row seats may come loose
during braking, vehicle maneuvers, or an
accident and be thrown around the vehicle
interior. Objects thrown around the vehicle
interior may cause an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
! When folding both seat rows, it is
important that you fold the seats in the
following order:
R
second-row middle seat (7-seat vehicles)
R
outboard second-row seats
R
third-row seats
Otherwise, you could damage the seats.
Folding second-row middle seat
! Close the cup holder in front of the
second-row seats before folding the
second-row middle seat. Otherwise you
could damage the cup holder and the
second-row middle seat.
