■Getting in the vehicle
For easy access to the rear seat, use the seatback lock release
lever. When the seatback lock release lever is used, the seat’s orig-
inal slide position is memorized, so the seat may be returned to that
original position. However, if the seatback angle adjustment lever is
used, the seat will not return to its original position.
Lift the seatback lock release
lever.
The seatback will fold forward,
and the seat’s slide lock will be
released.
Move the seat all the way for-
ward.
■Getting out of the vehicle
Lift the seatback lock release
lever or seatback angle adjust-
ment lever.
The seatback will fold forward,
and the seat’s slide lock will be
released.

ward.

■After passengers have entered the vehicle (3-door models only)
Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and
locked to its previous position automatically. If the seat cannot be slid back to
the previous position due to the rear passenger or luggage, the seat will be
locked in that position, disabling the seat position memory system.
To recall the previous position, lift the seatback lock release lever after remov-
ing the luggage, or after having the pass enger get out or sit properly so that
the seat can be slid back to the previous position. However, if you slide the
seat further backwards than previous position using the seat position adjust-
ment lever, the memory of previous position will be overwritten.
WARNING
■ When adjusting the seat position
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ Seat adjustment
● Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
● Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers while the vehi-
cle is moving.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path
and let them know that the seat is about to move.
■ After returning the seatback to the upright position
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
■ When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (Multidrive) or N (manual transmission).
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
● Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks.
● Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the
front seat.
