Basic information

WARNING

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined.

  This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries.

  You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

•  For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly.
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle.

  Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

• Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
• The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

Folding

Before folding the rear seats

• Release the outer seat belt from the seat belt guide.

• If the rear seat is equipped with the head restraints/headrests, slide the front seat forward to make enough room behind the seat so that the rear seatback can be folded flat.
• Remove drink containers from the rear cup holder (if so equipped).

To fold down the seatback

• Pull up the lever A and fold the seatback flat.

To return the seatback

To return the seatback to a seating position, raise the seatback until it latches in place.

When returning the seatback, make sure that the seat belts are not interfering with the seatback latch mechanism.

WARNING

• Before folding up the rear seats, ensure the seat belts are not obstructing the rear seatback latches to avoid damage to the seat belt webbing.
• When returning the seatback, make sure that the seat belts are not interfering with the seatback latch mechanism.
• Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
• Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
  • Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
  • Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in the seat.
• Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident.

  Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.

• If the head restraints/headrests are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting.

  Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

WARNING

• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined.

  This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries.

  You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

• For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly.

CAUTION

Do not fold or return the seatback using the seat belt guide. Doing so may cause damage to the seat belt guide.
