CAUTION
Seat adjustment
Be careful not to get your hands pinched between the luggage cover and
the seat.
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary. If the seat is too reclined, the lap
belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdo-
men, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Adjustments should not
be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to “P” (Multidrive or automatic transmission) or “1” (manual transmis-
sion).
Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

ward on the top of the seatback.
