lever (inside the luggage compartment or
the release at the base of the rear seat
accessible from the rear doors) to fold
down the left side, or the right-hand seat
back release lever to fold down the right
side of the backrest. It will fold forwards
automatically. If necessary, assist the
backrest during the initial stage of tilting.

2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn't
impede the movement of the backrest
while tilting it.
3. Pull both seat back release levers to
fold down the backrests. They will fold
forward automatically. If necessary,
assist the backrests during the initial
stage of tilting.
It is also possible to disengage the
sections of the rear seat from inside the
luggage compartment or by using one of
the two levers located below the rear
seat. Each lever folds down the section of
the backrest on the same side.Repositioning The Backrests
Move the seat belts to the side, making
sure that they are correctly extended and
not twisted. Also make sure that they are
not caught on anything behind the
backrests of the seats. Then, lift the
backrests by pushing them rearward until
you hear the lock click into place on both
attachment mechanisms.
Warning!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperly latched
seat could cause serious injury.
Central Backrest Section Tilting
Before tilting the backrest, make sure
that the rear center seat belt is not
fastened and that there aren't any
objects on the seat itself (if there are any,
remove them).
Pull the release strap upward to release
the central part of the backrest from its
housing and tilt it forward using the head
restraint.Central Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the central
portion upwards, manually guiding it back
into place. Lightly push to make sure that
it is properly latched. Make sure that the
armrest is properly latched by gently
trying to move it. If it is not latched,
repeat the operation.

4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt
portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the seat belt in a collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any
slack so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
6. To release the seat belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The seat belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the seat
belt to retract fully.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a
twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm)
above the latch plate, grasp and twist the
seat belt webbing 180 degrees to create
a fold that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded webbing. The folded webbing
must enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing and the
seat belt is no longer twisted.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the driver and front passenger seats,
the top of the shoulder belt can be
adjusted upward or downward to position
the seat belt away from your neck. Push
or squeeze the anchorage button to
release the anchorage, and move it up or
down to the position that serves you
best.As a guide, if you are shorter than
average, you will prefer the shoulder belt
anchorage in a lower position, and if you
are taller than average, you will prefer the
shoulder belt anchorage in a higher
position. After you release the anchorage
button, try to move it up or down to make
sure that it is locked in position.
Note:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt
anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up
feature. This feature allows the shoulder
belt anchorage to be adjusted in the
upward position without pushing or
squeezing the release button. To verify
the shoulder belt anchorage is latched,
pull downward on the shoulder belt
anchorage until it is locked into position.
