Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.

Rear seat head restraints
Each of the rear seat head restraints can be adjusted vertically to suit the height of the passenger. The upper edge of

restraint must also be removed when transporting heavy loads.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
Both sections of the rear seat backrest can be folded down, together or separately, to enable you to transport long
objects. Before folding down the rear seat backrests, the outboard seat belts can be attached to the clothes hook as
shown in the center illustration. To fold down one or both sections:

correctly locked in place. When the backrest is in the upright position, it must always be correctly locked in place.
When the rear seat is folded down, do not place heavy objects against the backs of the front seats. This places a
severe strain on the folded down backrest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure cargo.
Cargo must not be stacked higher than the top of seat backs. This will reduce the possibility of luggage, etc.
