ion folded up.
Otherwise, serious injuries could be suf-
fered in the event of hard braking. CAUTION
l
Do
not stack luggage above the seatback
height. Secure the luggage firmly.
Otherwise, serious accidents could result
due to restricted rear vision or unrestrain-
ed objects entering the passenger compart-
ment during sudden braking.
To fold 1. If
the seatback is reclined, raise it to the ini-
tial locked position. (Refer to “To recline the
seatback” on page 2-07.)

l The
luggage compartment in the rear of
the vehicle should never be used as a play
area by children. Children should be seat-
ed with seat belts fastened when the vehi-
cle is in motion. Be sure that the rear seat-
backs are returned to their fully upright
position and locked in place. CAUTION

Do
not stack luggage above the seatback
height. Secure the luggage firmly.

E00403301240 WARNING
l Driving
without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust
the head restraint height so that the centre
of the restraint is as close as possible to eye level to
reduce the chances of injury in the event of colli-
sion. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as
high as possible. Seat and seat belts

straints, make sure the head restraints
are fitted in their respective seats.
Failure to do so could cause serious in-
jury if involved in an accident. Seat and seat belts

Making a luggage area
E00403400039WARNING
l If required, always operate the seating be-
fore the vehicle is in motion.
l After seat operations are made, ensure
the seating is locked in position by attempt-
ing to move the seat and seatback for-
ward and rearward without using the ad-
justing mechanism.
l The luggage compartment in the rear of
the vehicle should never be used as a play
area by children. Children should be seat-
ed with seat belts fastened when the vehi-
cle is in motion. Be sure that the rear seat-
backs are returned to their fully upright
position and locked in place. CAUTION
l
Do
not stack luggage above the seatback
height.
Secure the luggage firmly.
Otherwise, serious accidents could result
due to restricted rear vision or unrestrain-
ed objects entering the passenger compart-
ment during sudden braking.
l Make sure that the seat is operated by an
adult. If it is operated by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
l When folding or storing the seat, be sure
not to catch your hand or leg. Stowing the third seat
E00404100020
The
third seat can be stowed under the floor to cre-
ate a luggage area.
NOTE
l Each side of the third seats can be stowed in-
dependently of the other.
To stow 1. Remove the head restraints from the thirdseats. (Refer to “Head restraints” on page
2-11.)
2. Fold the seatback forward and make sure it is securely retained against the seat cushion.
(Refer to “Folding the seatbacks forward” on
page 2-11.)
NOTE l The seatback cannot be retained if any object
is trapped between the seatback and seat cush-
ion.
l If the seatback is not retained against the seat
cushion when the seat is stowed, it may get
caught on the floor and prevent the seat from
being returned to its original position. 3. Pull the belt (A) on the back of the seat cush-
ion until it clicks. 4. Tip
the entire seat backward. Hold the han-
dle (B) on the back of the seat cushion and
lower the seat into the floor. Seat and seat belts

CAUTION
l
When stowing the seat, hold it with your
hands and lower it slowly. Unless you
hold the seat securely, it may suddenly tip
under its own weight, trapping your
hands.
l Do not pull the belt while a person is sit-
ting on the seat. The seat could tip back-
ward, resulting in an accident.
NOTE l The
removed third seat head restraints (C)
can be fitted together and stored in the cargo
net in the luggage area. (Refer to “Cargo net”
on page 5-45.) To return
1. Use
the handle (B) to lift the entire seat. Slow-
ly tip the seat forward, then push it until it
locks securely in position. 2. Pull
the belt (D) on the back of the seatback.
With the belt pulled, raise the seatback to its
original position. 3. After
raising the seatback to its original posi-
tion, push lightly on it to confirm that it has
been secured.
4. Install the head restraints. Making a flat seat
E00404300064
By
removing the head restraints and fully reclining
the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is ach-
ieved. WARNING
l Never
drive with luggage or passengers
on the flat seat. This is highly dangerous.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.
In the interest of their safety, children
should not be allowed to adjust the seats. CAUTION
l
To
make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a
safe place.
l Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
l When sliding the seat, be sure not to
catch your hand or leg.
l Do not walk around on top of the seats af-
ter they have been laid flat.
l To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
tempt to move them back and forth. Seat and seat belts

5. Tip the seatbacks of the third seats back-
ward. (Refer to “To recline the seatback” on
page 2-10.) 6. Move
the front seats backward until they
touch the second seats. Lock them in that po-
sition. The flat seat configuration is now com-
plete.
To return the seats to their normal positions,
reverse the above procedure. NOTE
l You
can store the head restraints (A) re-
moved from the second seat (except the mid-
dle seating position) by inserting their rods
between the tipped third seat and the wall of
the luggage area on the right side. l
The
head restraints (B) removed from the
third seat and the second seat (the middle seat-
ing position) can be fitted together and stor-
ed in the cargo net in the luggage area. Seat belts
E00404800593
To
protect you and your passengers in the event of
an accident, it is most important that the seat belts
be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner system.
These belts are used the same way as a convention-
al seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force
limiter system” on page 2-20 . WARNING
l Always
place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person.
Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by ev-
ery adult who drives or rides in this vehi-
cle, and by all children who are tall
enough to wear seat belts properly.
l Remove any twists when using the belt. Seat and seat belts
