switch-operated “Front, Fold & Return” seat is in motion.
●If any seat adjustment switch or driving position memory switch is operated
after the seat is moved to the forward and fold position using the “Front, Fold &
Return” seat switch, the seat cannot be returned using the “Front, Fold & Return”

CAUTION
■Seat adjustment
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to reduce
the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious in jury in the event of an accident.
■Retuning the folded seatback to the upright position
Pull the seatback up by hand.
If the seatback angle switch is used to return the seatback, the seat may not be
locked in position, resulting in an accident.
After returning the seat, rock the seat back and forth to ensure that it is securely
locked in position.
■When the vehicle is moving
Do not operate the seatback fold levers.
■Switch-operated “Front, Fold & Return” Seat
●Before operating the switch, ensure that no surrounding passengers or objects
are caught in the seat. Seat operation will not stop automatically, even if some-
