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

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
down from the seatback to use it.

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.
