Making a flat seat
EG05COI
By removing the head restraints and fully
reclining the seatbacks of the seats, one
large flat seat is achieved.
WARNING
Never drive with luggage or passen-
gers on the flat seat. This is highly
dangerous.
In a collision, people or children
riding unrestrained in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children to
ride in any area of your vehicle that
is not equipped with seats and seat
belts, and make sure that everyone
travelling in your vehicle is in a seat
and wearing a seat belt, or in the
case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.
In the interest of their safety, chil-
dren should not be allowed to adjust
the seats.
CAUTION
(1) To make a flat seat, stop the
vehicle in a safe place.
(2) Make sure that the seat is
adjusted by an adult.
If it is adjusted by a child, an
unexpected accident might
occur.
(3) When sliding the seat, be sure
not to trap your hand or leg.
(4) Do not walk around on top of the
seats after they have been laid
flat.
(5) To ensure the seats are locked
securely, attempt to move them
back and forth.
(6) Do not jump on, or impact the
seatbacks heavily.
(7) To raise the seatback, sit on the
seat and put a hand on the seat-
back and raise slowly. Never
have a child do this operation, or
an unexpected accident may
result.
