!

The third row seats are intended for use by no more
than two belted occupants, each of which does not
exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height.
Exceeding these limitations can result in an
increased risk of personal injury or death in the
event of an accident.


The third row seats are not intended for use by
infants and small children who must use rear facing
or forward facing child safety seats.


Third row seat operation should always be made
before driving. Operating the seat while driving
could cause the seat to move more than necessary
and result in a serious injury or death.


Before using, check that the third row seat is firmly
secured. If not secured, the third row seat could
move and cause a serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.


The third row seat should not be used when the sec-
ond row seats are folded forward. Third row seat
passengers can suffer a serious or fatal injury if the
second row seats fell backward in a collision or when
heavy breaking is applied.


For vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover,
when the third row seat is in use, always remove the
cargo area cover to avoid serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Refer to “Cargo area cover”, page 3-291.CAUTION
!

The third row seat should be adjusted only by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur.


When adjusting the third row seat, keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts and the space
below the seat.


Be careful not to touch the exhaust pipe, because it
will remain hot for some time after the engine is
stopped.WA R N I N G

2 Head restraints
N00404300470
Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a
whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from the rear.
The head restraints are equipped in the illustrated position.
To maximize the effectiveness of your head restraint, adjust
your seatback to the upright position, and the head restraint to
the proper position. Sit back against the seatback with your
head close to the head restraint.
WA R N I N G
!

Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in
an accident, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied.


In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the
upright position and the head restraint must be
adjusted to the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.


Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.
