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

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

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

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
