BEFORE DRIVING

To return the seat to the normal position,
follow the procedure below.
68PM00218
Raise the seatback until it locks into place.
After returning the seat, move the seat-
back forward and backward to check that it
is securely latched.
NOTICE
After folding the rear seatback for-
ward, do not allow any foreign mate-
rial to enter the lock opening. This
may cause damage to the inside of
the lock and prevent the seatback
from being locked securely.
WARNING
If you need to carry cargo in the pas-
senger compartment with the rear
seatback folded forward, secure the
cargo or it may be thrown about,
causing injury. Never pile cargo
higher than the seatbacks.
CAUTION
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, be careful that
your finger is not caught between the
lock and the striker.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, check that
there is nothing around the striker.
Any foreign materials prevent the
seatback from being locked
securely.
• When you move a seatback, make
sure the belt webbing is hooked in
the seat belt hangers so the seat
belts are not caught by the seat-
back, seat hinge, or seat latch. This
helps prevent damage to the belt
system.

CAUTION
Do not put your hand into the rear
seatback lock opening, or your finger
may get caught and be injured.
CAUTION
After securing the rear seatback,
check that it is locked securely. If it is
not, red will appear in the release
lever.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, do not allow
any foreign material to enter the
lock opening. This may prevent the
seatback from being locked
securely.
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, handle it
carefully by hand to avoid any dam-
age to the lock itself. Do not push it
by using some material or by
applying excessive force.
• As the lock is designed exclusively
for securing the rear seatback, do
not use it for any other purpose.
Incorrect use of it may cause dam-
age to the inside of the lock and
prevent the seatback from being
locked securely.
