CAUTION
■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 (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with a manual transmission).
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
●For vehicles with a split rear seats, do not allow anyone 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.
●If it is necessary to detach the head restraints, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●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.
CAUTION
■After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it back and forth.
If the seatback is not securely locked, the red marking will be visible on the seatback lock release knob. Make sure that the red marking is not visible.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
