the back of the front seatbacks.
Rear seats
Folding the rear seat
(if equipped)
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carr ying long items or to
increase the luggage compartment

CAUTION
OAD035017
•Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down
seatback whilst the vehicle is
moving. This is not a proper
seating position and no seat
belts are available for use.
This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop.
•Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of
the front seatbacks. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.

Armrest
The armrest is located in the centre
of the rear seat. Pull the armrest

OAD035023
Make sure the engine is off, the
shift lever is in P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
WA R N I N G
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, as they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit vehicle
occupants in a collision caus-
ing serious injury or death.
WA R N I N G
When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.
