Getting in or out the vehicle
For easy access to the rear seat, use the seatback lock release
lever or seatback angle adjustment lever. When the seatback lock
release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever is used, the seat’s
original position is memorized, so the seat may be returned to that
original position. The seatback will be returned to the fully upright
position.
Lift the seatback lock release
lever or seatback angle adjust-
ment lever.
The seatback will fold forward,
and the seat’s slide lock will be
released.
Move the seat all the way for-
ward.
■
Seat slide position memory function (3-door models only)
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and
locked to its previous slide position automatically, and the seatback will be
returned to the fully upright position.
In the following situations, the seat slide position memory will not be saved or
will be overwritten.
●The seatback is lifted upright at a slide position farther forward than the
memorized position.
● The seat slide position is memorized when the seat is slid all the way or
nearly all the way forward.
● The seat is slid farther back than the memorized position by using the seat
position adjustment lever.
■ If the seat cannot be returned to the memorized slide position
Lift the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever after
removing the luggage, or after having the passenger get out or sit properly so
that the seat can be slid back to the previous position.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ Seat adjustment
●Be careful that the seat does not hit passenger or luggage.
● 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 too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck 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 unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
● Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers while the vehi-
cle is moving.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path
and let them know that the seat is about to move.
■ After returning the seatback to the upright position
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent the seat lock mechanism malfunction
Do not use the seatback angle adjustment lever and seatback lock release
lever at the same time. If they are used together, the seat lock mechanism
may be damaged.

WARNING
■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 (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).
● 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.
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
● Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks.
● If it is necessary to detach the head restraints, remove it from the vehicle
or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from
injuring passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
● Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the
front seat.
