Operation of each component
■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 adj ustment 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 fu nction (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 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 th\
en
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.

Driving
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount
that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In
other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus
cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on
your vehicle.
WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-
ment:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-
ble.
●Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the luggage cover
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be place
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
