CAUTION

When folding the seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to  do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious

injury.

Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.

Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while

driving.

Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

Seat adjustment
Observe the following precautions. Failure to  do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious

injury.

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces

directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the

risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move

and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear console box and the

second seat when folding down the rear seatback.

When stowing the third seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to  do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious

injury.

Check that there is no luggage and that there are no other people around the seat

before stowing operation.

Do not insert hands or feet into the moving parts of the seat.

Do not allow children to operate the seat.

After returning the seatbacks to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to  do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious

injury.

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rearward on the

top.

Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.

NOTICE

When returning the third seat (vehicles with a luggage cover)
If the luggage cover is installed in the luggage compartment, make sure you remove it

before returning the third seat. (

P. 418) The luggage cover may be damaged by the
