Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When folding the rear seatbacks down
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-

en
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
● Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks.
● Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seat-

hen
folding down the rear seatbacks.
■ After returning the rear seat back to the upright position
●Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked in position by lightly rocking it
back and forth.
If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release knob. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted
or caught in the seatback.
If the seat belt gets caught between the
