FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in thecargo area or on the rear seats when
they are in the fold-down position. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
without proper restraints are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts. Be sure ev-
eryone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
∙ Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in the
seat. ∙ Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against in-
jury in an accident. Always replace
and adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason.
∙ If the head restraints/headrests are removed for any reason, they should
be securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers or
damage to the vehicle in case of sud-
den braking or an accident.
∙ When returning rear row seatbacks to the upright position, either by manual
operation or power operation (if so
equipped), the operator should al-
ways verif y that the back is locked in
the upright position by gently rocking
the seatback before allowing passen-
gers to occupy the rear seats. If they
are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.
∙ Properly secure all cargo to help pre- vent it from sliding or shif ting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Folding the rear bench seat
Before folding the rear seats:
∙ Disconnect and secure the center seat belt and tongue into the retractor base.
For additional information, refer to
“Stowing the rear center seat belt” in this
section.
∙ Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks on the side wall. For additional
information, refer to “Seat belt hook” in
this section.
∙ Remove drink containers from the rear cup holder.

malfunctions while in the power operation,
a beep sounds for 4 seconds and the seat-
back will return to the folded position auto-
matically. Check if there are any obstacles

vice.

is stopped and the transmission is in
the P (Park) position.
WARNING

ter seat belt connector is completely
secured. ∙ If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment af ter someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach any-
thing to the head restraint/headrest
stalks or remove the head
restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly ad-
just the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.
