Rear Seat

Split Folding the Seatback

By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage compartment space can

be expanded.

WARNING

■Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on folded down seatbacks or

in the luggage compartment.

Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat

belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during

sudden braking or a collision.

■Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatbacks low-

ered.

Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatbacks folded down is

dangerous. If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatbacks

were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage com-

partment which could lead to an accident.

■Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is trans-

ported with the seatbacks folded down.

Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could

move and become an obstruction to driving during emergency braking or a

collision resulting in an unexpected accident.

■When transporting cargo, do not allow the cargo to exceed the height

of the seatbacks.

Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous as visi-

bility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere

with driving operations and lead to an accident.
