Never fold the rear seat backrest up or down while the vehicle is moving.
When folding the rear seat backrest back up, make sure that the safety belt does not get
caught or damaged.
Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the away when folding the rear seat
backrest up and down.
Each rear seat backrest must be securely latched into place in the upright position so that

the safety belts on the rear seats can provide protection. This is particularly the case for the
middle seat on the rear bench.

If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger will move forward together
with the rear seat backrest during sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or a collision.
No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the rear seat backrest is folded
ꢀ
down or not correctly latched.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front seats so that the rear seat's head
restraint or backrest cushion will not touch the front seats.
NOTICE
Items in the luggage compartment could be damaged or cause damage when the rear seat is
adjusted in the fore and aft direction.
