CAUTION
■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
●Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat. Otherwise,
injury may result from contact with, or by being pinched by parts of the
seat.
● Manual third seats: Do not sit on the third seat when it is in the stowed
position with the seatback upright.
● Power third seats: Do not continue the stowing operation when the indica-
tor above the stowing switch and returning switch comes on or flashes. An
object or a person may be caught in the seat.

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.

When driving
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Cons ult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available ca rgo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle. ( P. 542)
Example on your vehicle
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity
When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are
riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity of 850 lb. (385
kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be
as follows:
850 lb. - 366 lb. = 484 lb. (385 kg -166 kg = 219 kg)
In this condition, if 3 more pa ssengers with the combined weight of
388 lb. (176 kg) get on , the available cargo and luggage load will be
reduced as follows:
484 lb. - 388 lb. = 96 lb. (219 kg - 176 kg = 43 kg)
As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount
that equals the increased weight du e to the additional occupants. In
other words, if an increase in th e number of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus
cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on
your vehicle.
