Safety system of your vehicle10 3Folding the rear seatThe rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position.
3. Pull out the seatback locking knob in
the trunk, then fold the seat toward the
front of the vehicle.4. For center shoulder belt, insert the belt
webbing in the right side rear shoulder
belt guide to prevent the belt from
being trapped under the seat.
5. When you return the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it has
locked into position by pushing on the
top of the seatback.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects than could other-
wise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.
