By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage
compartment space can be expanded.
WA R N I N G
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported with
the seatbacks folded down:
Driving without tightly securing cargo and
luggage is dangerous as it could move and
become an obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision resulting
in an unexpected accident.
CAUTION
If the seatback is not supported by your
hand, it will move suddenly and could
cause injury.
Folding both seatbacks down
CAUTION
Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback. Depending on the
position of a front seat, it may not be
possible to fold a rear seatback all the way
down because it may hit the seatback of
the front seat which could scratch or
damage the front seat or its pocket. Lower
or remove the head restraint on the rear
outboard seat if necessary.
NOTE

center seatback folds down at the same
time.
