x Reinstall the head restraints
WARNING
Improper folding and improper latching of the rear seat backrest can cause serious personal
injury.
x Always make sure there are no people or animals in the area around the rear seat backrest
when folding it forward.
x Never fold the rear seat backrest or the rear seat bench up or down while the vehicle is
moving.
x When folding the rear seat backrest or the rear seat bench back up, make sure that the
safety belt does not get caught or damaged.
x Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the way when folding the rear seat
backrest or the rear seat bench up and down.
x Each rear seat backrest must be securely latched in the upright position so that the safety
belts on the rear seats can provide protection. This is particularly the case for the middle seat
on the rear seat bench.
x If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger will move forward together
with the rear seat backrest during sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or in a collision.
x If the red marking on the button A, (2) is visible, this indicates that the backrest is not
latched into place. Always check to make sure that the red marking is not visible whenever
the rear seat backrest is in the upright position.
x No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the rear seat backrest or the rear
seat bench is folded down or not correctly latched.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front seats so that the rear seat's head
restraint or backrest cushion will not touch the front seats.
