WARNING
■When folding down the rear seatbacks and when the rear seatbacks are folded
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not fold down the rear seatbacks while driving.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, apply the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded rear seatback or in the luggage compartment
while driving.

■When operating the rear seatback
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Keep other passengers from being hit by the rear seatback.
●Do not put your hands between the seats or near the moving parts, or let any part of
your body get caught.
●Power seat: Do not let children operate the rear seatback. Other passengers may get caught in the seat.
●Power seat: Check that there are no passengers sitting in a seat before folding itdown. Do not let passengers sit in the seat while it is being folded down.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap be lt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary. If the seat is reclined excessively, the lap be lt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your ne ck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing
the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move andcause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
■After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Make sure that the rear seatback is secure ly locked in position by lightly pushing it back and forth.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught between or behind in the rear
seatback.
