Seatback pocket (if equipped)
OQX039041L
The seatback pocket is provided on the
back of the front seatbacks.
WARNING
To prevent the Occupant Classification
System from malfunctioning:
Do not hang onto the front passenger’s
seatback.
CAUTION
Do not put heavy or sharp objects in the
seatback pockets. In an accident they
could come loose from the pocket and
injure occupants.
Rear Seats
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
• 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
forward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.

2. Lower the rear head restraints to
the lowest position by pushing and
holding the release button and
pushing down on the head restraint.

5. To use the rear seat, lift and unfold
the seatback to the upright position.
Push the seatback firmly until it clicks
into place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place.
Return the seatbelt back into the
guide (1).
WARNING
When returning the rear seatback 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 seatback. In an accident
or sudden stop, an unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward with
great force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
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.
