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.

■Seat adjustment
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●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, th e 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 dr iving 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.
■When stowing the third seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Check that there is no luggage and that there are no other people around the seat
before stowing operation.
●Do not insert hands or feet into the moving parts of the seat.
●Do not allow children to operate the seat.

injury.
