If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident
might occur.●When sliding the seat, be sure not to catch your
hand or leg.●Do not walk around on top of the seats after they
have been laid flat.●To ensure the seats are locked securely, attempt to
move them back and forth.●Do not jump on, or impact the seatbacks heavily.●To raise the seatback, sit on the seat and put a hand
on the seatback and raise slowly. Never have a child
do this operation, or an unexpected accident may
result.
