since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or death.

button is in 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 button
is inadvertently shifted to another
position.

through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.

CAUTION
Without starting the engine, the 3rd row
seat can be folded or unfolded. When
this is attempted more than 10 times,
the battery may discharge prematurely.
Do not apply excessive force to the
3
rd row seat while in operation. It may
damage the seat.
When you operate the seat over 5 times
with no rest, the electric motor may
be overloaded. In this case, the seat
changes to overheat prevention mode.
Then you cannot operate the seat by
pressing the switch. Leave the seat for
over 1 minute for later operation.
Detection of object caught
While folding or unfolding the 3rd row
seat, when a consistent force is detected,
the seat returns to its original position or
stops operation.
However, this function may not work
when the detected resistance is below a
specific level or the seat is almost folded
or unfolded. When a strong impact is
applied to the seat, the object detection
function may be activated even if no
obstacle is present.
When any object caught is detected
multiple times while operating the seat
once, folding and unfolding are repeated
consecutively and then the operation
may stop. In this case, check that any
object is caught and then operate the
switch again to check for abnormality.
When the object detection is enabled,
the angle of the seat back may be
changed. When you operate the seat
once by pressing the folding button, the
angle of the seat back is reset.
WARNING
Do not place any part of your body
or anything in the operating area to
intentionally check the detection of any
object caught.
For safety, when folding or unfolding
the 3
rd row seat, make sure that there
is no part of body or object. To prevent
damage to the seatbelt, insert it into
its holder and store it in the retractor
inside a seat.
When the child restraint system (CRS) is
installed on the 3
rd row seat, remove the
CRS and then operate the seat.
When there is any object on the cushion
of the 3
rd row seat, remove it and then
operate the seat.
To avoid interference with a front seat,
keep the backrest of the front seat
straight and move it forward for smooth
operation.
