WARNING
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported
with the seatbacks folded down:Driving without tightly securing
cargo and luggage is dangerous as it
could move and become an
obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision
resulting in an unexpected accident.
Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before
operating the remote handle levers for
the rear seat: Operating the remote handle levers
while a rear-facing child-restraint
system is in the rear seat is
dangerous. It could cause injury to a
child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly
flips forward.
Make sure there is nobody in the rear
seat area before operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers (Vehicles with
remote handle): Not checking the rear seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks
with the strap/remote handle levers
is dangerous. The rear seat area is
difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the
remote handle levers without
checking could cause injury to a
person when a seatback suddenly
flips forward.
CAUTION
ØWhen operating the rear seatback
knob, make sure you support the
seatback with your hand. If the
seatback is not supported with
your hand, it will flip forward
suddenly and could cause injury to
the finger that pushes the rear
seatback knob down.
Ø (Vehicles with remote handle)
Before folding the seatbacks down
with the remote handle levers,
make sure there is no cup in a rear
cup holder. Folding the seatbacks
with the remote handle levers
while a cup is in the cup holder
could soil or damage the seat
bottom and seatback.
Ø (Vehicles with remote handle)
Be careful of the following when
using the remote handle levers:
ØOn a downward slope, the
seatback could flip forward
faster than on a flat surface.
ØOn an upward slope, the
seatback may not fold down.
When the seatbacks cannot be
folded down with levers, pull
the rear seatback forward from
inside the vehicle.
