CAUTION
■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.
● 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.
● Be careful not to get any part of your body pinched by a seat.
■ Seat adjustment
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 reclined too far, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of\
an acci-
dent.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position or the ottoman (vehicles with Otto-
man seats)
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so as not to get them
caught.
■ When using the ottoman (vehicles with Ottoman seats)
● Do not sit on the ottoman. Seat belts may not be properly worn which may
result in death or serious injury.
● Stow the ottoman when you get in and out of the vehicle or when the otto-
man is not in use to avoid stumbling over it.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the seat
● Avoid putting heavy loads on a folded seat that is being used as a tempo-
rary table.
● 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.
● Make sure that the path the seat will move through is clear before stowing
or returning the third seat.
● 8-passenger models: Be sure to raise the stowed second center seat
above the outer trim, when removing from the storage box of the luggage
room.

CAUTION
■Storage precautions
●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be place
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in t he event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or serious injury.
■Cross rail adjustment
Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by pushing forward and
rearward them.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident.
