OOS037075
The seatback pocket is provided on the
back of the seats.
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.
OOS037019
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 headrests to the lowest position by pushing and holding the
release button (1) and pushing down
on the headrest (2).

5. To use the rear seat, lift and push the seatback rearward.
Push the seatback firmly until it clicks
into place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place.
Return the belt in the guide.
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, the 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.

CAUTION
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert
the buckle in the pocketbetween the
rear seatback and cushion. Doing so
can prevent the buckle from being
damaged by the rear seatback.
WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is off, the vehicle
is shifted to P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure to
take these steps may allow the vehicle
to move if the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
CAUTION
• Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.
• When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats, ensure the
cargo is properly secured to prevent
it from moving while driving.
• Unsecured cargo in the passenger
compartment can cause damage
to the vehicle or injury to it’s
occupants.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about the
vehicle in a collision and causing injury
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place
objects in the rear seats, since they
cannot be properly secured and may hit
the front seat occupants in a collision. Armrest (if equipped)
OOS037024
The armrest is located in the center of
the rear seat. Pull the armrest down by
using the strap from the seatback to use it.
