Rear Seat
▼Split Folding
By lowering the rear seatbacks the
luggage compartment space can be
expanded.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with
occupants on folded down seatbacks
or in the luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage
compartment is dangerous because
seat belts cannot be fastened which
could lead to serious injury or death
during sudden braking or a collision.
Do not allow children to play inside
the vehicle with the seatbacks
lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatbacks were
raised back up, the child may become
trapped in the luggage compartment
which could lead to an accident.
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported
with the seatbacks folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo
and luggage is dangerous as it could
move and become an obstruction to
driving during emergency braking or a
collision resulting in an unexpected
accident.

When transporting cargo, do not
allow the cargo to exceed the height
of the seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than
the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility
to the rear and sides of the vehicle is
reduced which could interfere with
driving operations and lead to an
accident.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with
your hand. If it is not supported by a
hand, fingers or the hand pressing
the push knob could be injured.
 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 or its pocket.
Fold down or remove the head
restraint on the rear outboard seat
before folding down the seatback.
Press the push knob to fold down the
seatback.

To return the seatback to its upright
position:
WARNING
When returning a seatback to its
upright position, make sure the
3-point seat belt is not caught in the
seatback and the 3-point seat belt is
not twisted.
If the seat belt is used while it is
twisted and caught in the seatback, the
seat belt cannot function at its full
capacity, which could cause serious
injury or death.
When returning a seatback to its
upright position, make sure that it is
fi rmly locked and the red indication is
not visible.
If the red indication is visible behind
the push knob, it means the seatback
is not locked. If the vehicle is driven
without the seatback locked, it could
fold down suddenly and cause an
accident.

Head Restraints
▼Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints on all outboard seats and the
rear center seat. The head restraints are
intended to help protect you and the
passengers from neck injury.
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
adjusted:
Driving with the head restraints
adjusted too low or removed is
dangerous. With no support behind
your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
▼
Height Adjustment
Adjust the head restraint so that the
center is even with the top of the
passenger's ears.

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to
the desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the

WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
installed when seats are being used
and make sure they are properly
installed:
Driving with the head restraints not
installed is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
After installing a head restraint, try
lifting it to make sure that it does not
pull out:
Driving with an unsecured head
restraint is dangerous as the
eff ectiveness of the head restraint will
be compromised which could cause it
to unexpectedly detach from the seat.
CAUTION
 When installing a head restraint,
make sure that it is installed correctly
with the front of the head restraint
facing forward. If the head restraint is
installed incorrectly, it could detach
from the seat during a collision and
result in injury.
 The head restraints on each of the
front and rear seats are specialized to
each seat. Do not switch around the
head restraint positions. If a head
restraint is not installed to its correct
seat position, the e ffectiveness of the
head restraint during a collision will
be compromised which could cause
injury.
▼ Folding/Unfolding (Rear outboard
seats)
The rear outboard seats are equipped
with foldable head restraints.
WARNING
Always drive with the head restraints
in their upright positions when the
rear seats are occupied, and make
sure they are securely locked in place:
Driving with the head restraints folded
down is dangerous. With no support
behind your head, your neck could be
seriously injured in a collision.
Always operate the strap to unlock
and fold down the head restraint:
If the head restraint is folded down
without unlocking it, the lock
mechanism of the head restraint may
become damaged and the head
restraint may not be able to stay in a
secured position. Driving the vehicle
with the head restraint in such a
condition is dangerous as impact to
the occupant’s head cannot be
prevented during emergency braking or
in a collision, which could result in a
serious injury or death.
CAUTION

Do not place your finger in the
moving parts of the head restraint
when operating the head restraint. If
the head restraint is operated with
your finger placed in a moving part
of the head restraint, your finger
could get caught resulting in injury.
 Do not leave the head restraint
raised up when folding a seatback. If
a seatback is folded while the head
restraint is left raised up, the head
restraint could contact the front seat
depending on the front seat position,
and therefore, the front seat,
seatback, and the head restraint
surfaces could become damaged.
