The third row seat can be used for two additional passengers.
When the third row seat is not in use, it can be stowed under
the floor to provide more cargo area.
WA R N I N G
!
The third row seats are intended for use by no more
than two belted occupants, each of which does not
exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height.
Exceeding these limitations can result in an
increased risk of personal injury or death in the
event of an accident.
The third row seats are not intended for use by
infants and small children who must use rear facing
or forward facing child safety seats.
Third row seat operation should always be made
before driving. Operating the seat while driving
could cause the seat to move more than necessary
and result in a serious injury or death.
Before using, check that the third row seat is firmly
secured. If not secured, the third row seat could
move and cause a serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.
The third row seat should not be used when the sec-
ond row seats are folded forward. Third row seat
passengers can suffer a serious or fatal injury if the
second row seats fell backward in a collision or when
heavy breaking is applied.

When using the third row seat, always position and
lock the head restraints on top of the seat back.
See the steps 6 and 7 of the procedure for folding out
the third seat.
For vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover,
when the third row seat is in use, always remove the
cargo area cover to avoid serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Refer to “Cargo area cover”, page 3-283.
CAUTION
!
The third row seat should be adjusted only by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur.
When adjusting the third row seat, keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts and the space
below the seat.

NOTE
The head restraint height in the third row seats cannot be
adjusted.
For instructions regarding on how to use the third row
seats, refer to “Third row seat (Seating 7 passengers)” on
page 2-16.
Adjustment of the head restraint height (The
front and second row seats)To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head
restraint height so that the center of the restraint is at your eye
level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their eye level when seated should raise the restraint to the
highest locked position.

To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.

To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the
lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow.

After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to
make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G
!
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, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied.
In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the
upright position and the head restraint must be
adjusted to the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.
Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
