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.

●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.

■Seat adjustment

●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not

recline the seat more than necessary.

3

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.

●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.

■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 the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-

ward on the top.

●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.

NOTICE
