When transporting cargo, do not
allow the cargo to exceed the height
of the seatbacks.

the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility
to the rear and sides of the vehicle is
reduced which could interfere with
driving operations and lead to an
accident.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with
your hand. If it is not supported by a
hand, fingers or the hand pressing
the push knob could be injured.
 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

seatback and the 3-point seat belt is
not twisted.
If the seat belt is used while it is
twisted and caught in the seatback, the
seat belt cannot function at its full
capacity, which could cause serious
injury or death.
When returning a seatback to its
upright position, make sure that it is
fi rmly locked and the red indication is
not visible.
If the red indication is visible behind
