so that the front seat does not interfere with the rear seatbacks when fold-
ing down the rear seatbacks.

serious injury.
Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked in position by lightly pushing it

If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release lever. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.
