Warning!G
When occupants have entered or exited the
vehicle using the easy-entry/exit feature,
before driving off make sure

the seats are properly locked

the seat backrests are in an upright po-
sition and are properly locked
If a seat and seat backrest are not properly
locked, the seat could move forward and the
seat backrest could fold. You could slide un-
der the seat belt during braking, vehicle ma-
neuvers, or in an accident. If you slide under
it, the belt would apply force at the abdomen
or neck. That could cause serious or even fa-
tal injuries.
iIf, due to an accident or other situation, it is
not possible for you to exit the vehicle on the
side of the easy-entry seat (
page 132), you
can fold the left side of the seat backrest in the
second row of seats down in order to open the
left rear door.
!Make sure that the head restraint is pushed
all the way down (
page 137).
