CAUTION
■ When folding second seats
●
Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.
●
Do not fold the second seatback when passengers sit or luggage is placed
on the seat.
●
Do not allow passengers to ride on the folded seat or in the luggage com-
partment while driving.
●
Make sure that no passengers or luggage are on the rear seats.
●
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly.
■
When stowing third seats
●
Make sure that no passenger or luggage are on the seats. Then, hold the
seat and slowly move it.
Otherwise, people may be injured or luggage may be damaged if the seat
hits them.
●
Make sure the seat is securely locked by pushing forward and rearward on
the top of the seatback or by trying to pull up the edge of the bottom cush-
ion.
Failure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly.
●
Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback and are
arranged in their proper position ready for use.
●
Do not stow or return the seats when you are inside the vehicle in order to
prevent pinching your hands or feet in the seat.
Be sure to stow and return the seats from outside the vehicle.
