CAUTION
■When folding the seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to
P.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment
while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
■Seat adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear console box and the
second seat when folding down the rear seatback.
