1463-3. Adjusting the seats
C-HR_OM_USA_OM10684U
WARNING
Observe  the  following  precautions.  Failure  to  do  so  may  result in  death  or
serious injury.
■ When folding the rear seatbacks down
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
● Stop  the  vehicle  on  level  ground,  set  the  parking  brake  and  shi ft  the  shift
lever to P.
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the lugga ge 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  then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
● Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks.
● Adjust  the  position  of  the  front  seats  before  folding  down  the  rear  seat-
backs so that the front seats do not interfere with the rear se atbacks when
folding down the rear seatbacks.
■ After returning the rear seat back to the upright position
●Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked  in  position  by  lightly  rocking  it
back and forth.
If  the  seatback  is  not  securely  locked,
the  red  marking  will  be  visible  on  the
seatback  lock  release  knob.  Make  sure
that the red marking is not visible.
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted
or caught in the seatback. 
If the seat belt gets caught between the
seatback’s  securing  hook  and  latch,  it
may damage the seat belt.
