■Tumbling the second seats
●In order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop, do not
allow passengers to sit in the third seats when a second seat is tumbled.
● When tumbling the second seats, fix the seats securely by adjusting the
length of the seat's holding strap.
● Do not attach the holding strap to anything other than the assist grip to
hold the second seat.
● The holding strap must be stowed into the pocket when it is not in use.
■ Removing the second seats
●Do not leave a seat in the vehicle if it has been disengaged from the floor.
● Do not sit on or place anything on a seat that has been removed from the\
vehicle.
■ Stowing the third seats

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the seat
●Avoid putting heavy loads on a folded seat that is being used as a tempo-
rary table.
● Before folding a second seat as preparation for removal or tumbling the
seat, the seat belt buckles must be stowed.
● Do not sit on or put heavy loads on a second seat that has been removed
from the vehicle. The metal tips of the seat leg may be damaged, prevent-
ing reinstallation of the seat.
● The second seats must be reinstalled in their original positions. If they are
installed in the wrong position, the seat locks or bezels will be damaged.
● When installing a second seat, make sure to align the front leg hooks with
the rearmost of the two bars in each of the front strikers in the floor. If you
align the legs with the front strikers, the bezel in the floor will be damaged.
● Do not use the seat position adjustment lever to lift or carry a seat that has
been disengaged from the floor or removed from the vehicle. Otherwise,
during reinstallation, part of the seat may slide preventing proper reinstal-
lation of the seat. If this happens, return the seat to the rearmost position
before reinstalling it.
● Make sure that the path the seat will move through is clear before stowing
or returning the third seat.
