fold seats MAZDA MODEL 2 2014 Owners Manual

Black plate (17,1)
Never allow a passenger to sit or stand
on the folded seatback while the
vehicle is moving:Driving with a passenger on the
folded seatback is dangerous.
Allowing a child to sit up on the
folded seatback while the vehicle is
moving is particularly dangerous. In
a sudden stop or even a minor
collision, a child not in a proper seat
or child-restraint system and seat
belt could be thrown forward, back
or even out of the vehicle resulting in
serious injuries or death. The child in
the baggage area could be thrown
into other occupants and cause
serious injury.
CAUTION
Be careful not to place your hands
and fingers around moving parts of
the rear seat when adjusting the seat
positions to prevent injury.
NOTE
When returning a rear seat to its original
position, also replace the seat belt to its
normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls
out and retracts.
q Split-Folding Rear Seatback
The seatbacks can be folded down to
provide more space in the luggage
compartment.
To fold the seatbacks
CAUTION
Ø When operating the rear seatback
knob, make sure you support the
seatback with your hand. If the
seatback is not supported with
your hand, it will flip forward
suddenly and could cause injury to
the finger that pushes the rear
seatback knob down.
Ø Check the position of a front seat
before folding a rear seatback.
Depending on the position of a
front seat, it may not be possible
to fold a rear seatback all the way
down because it may hit the
seatback of the front seat which
could scratch or damage the front
seat. Remove the head restraint on
the rear outboard seat if
necessary.
1. Lower the head restraint all the way down (page 2-7).
2. Support the seatback with your hand.
