Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
2
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down
seatback while the vehicle is
moving. This is not a proper
seating position and no seat
belts are available for use.
This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of
the front seatbacks. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.
WARNING
Never attempt to adjust while
the vehicle is moving or the 2nd
row seat is occupied as the seat
may suddenly move and cause
the passenger on the seat to be
injured.
WARNING
If the walk-in switch does not
work, pull the strap (1) located
on the lower left side of the
seat. Then you can move the
2nd row seat forward.
(7 passenger vehicle - Left seat : lower right side- Right seat : lower left side
8 passenger vehicle
- Right seat : lower left side)
Never attempt to pull the strap
(1) while the 2nd row seat is
occupied as the seat may sud-
denly move and cause the
passenger on the seat to be
injured. Use only the strap
when the walk-in switch does
not work.

tion by pulling up the recline lever.
Push the seatback firmly until it
clicks into place. Make sure the
seatback is locked in place.
6. Return the rear seat belt to the proper position. Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be
properly secured and may hit
vehicle occupants in a collision
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.

Detection of object caught
While folding or unfolding the 3rd row
seat, when a consistent force is
detected, the seat returns to its orig-
inal position or stops operation.
However, this function may not work
when the detected resistance is
below a specific level or the seat is
almost folded or unfolded. When a
strong impact is applied to the seat,
the object detection function may be
activated even if no obstacle is pres-
ent.
When any object caught is detected
multiple times while operating the
seat once, folding and unfolding are
repeated consecutively and then the
operation may stop. In this case,
check that any object is caught and
then operate the switch again to
check for abnormality.
When the object detection is
enabled, the angle of the seat back
may be changed. When you operate
the seat once by pressing the folding
button, the angle of the seat back is
reset.Do not place any part of your
body or anything in the operat-
ing area to intentionally check
the detection of any object
caught.
For safety, when folding or
unfolding the 3rd row seat,
make sure that there is no part
of body or object. To prevent
damage to the seatbelt, insert it
into its holder and store it in the
retractor inside a seat.
When the child restraint system
(CRS) is installed on the 3rd row
seat, remove the CRS and then
operate the seat.
When there is any object on the
cushion of the 3rd row seat,
remove it and then operate the
seat.
To avoid interference with a
front seat, keep the backrest of
the front seat straight and move
it forward for smooth operation.WARNING
Without starting the engine, the
3rd row seat can be folded or
unfolded. When this is attempt-
ed more than 10 times, the bat-
tery may discharge premature-
ly.
Do not apply excessive force to
the 3rd row seat while in opera-
tion. It may damage the seat.
When you operate the seat over
5 times with no rest, the electric
motor may be overloaded. In
this case, the seat changes to
overheat prevention mode.
Then you cannot operate the
seat by pressing the switch.
Leave the seat for over 1 minute
for later operation.

Head Restraints
The vehicle's front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly
they are designed to help protect
passengers from whiplash and other
neck and spinal injuries during an
accident, especially in a rear impact
collision.To prevent damage, NEVER hit or
pull on the head restraints.
NOTICE
2
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your head
restraints:
Always properly adjust the
head restraints for all passen-
gers BEFORE starting the
vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a
seat with the head restraints
removed or reversed.

Adjust the head restraints so
the middle of the head
restraint is at the same height
as the height of the top of the
eyes.
NEVER adjust the head
restraint position of the dri-
ver's seat when the vehicle is
in motion.
Adjust the head restraint as
close to the passenger's head
as possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
Make sure the head restraint
locks into position after
adjusting it.
WARNING
OLF034072N
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the head restraint to the low-
est position. The rear seat head
restraint can reduce the visibili-
ty of the rear area.

SERIOUS BURN, even at low
temperatures and especially if
used for long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too warm
so they can turn it off, if needed.

This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things to avoid when
using seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed to
supplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not a
substitute. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting and
wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
WARNING
NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must be
seated in the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble and properly restrain them
in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’s
lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back.
Always wear both the shoul-
der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
