Split folding the Second-row Seats
Make sure the adjustable components of a second-row seat are locked after folding down the seatback.
A second-row seat that is not securely locked is dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the second-row seat could move, causing injury.
After folding down the seatback of a second-row seat, make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward.
Do not drive the vehicle with an occupant on a folded down seatback or in the luggage compartment.
During sudden braking or a collision, the person could be seriously injured or killed.
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is transported 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 folding the seatback forward, always support the seatback with your hand. If it is not supported by a hand, fingers or the hand raising the lever could be injured.
-
Check the position of a front seat before folding a second-row seatback.
Depending on the position of a front seat, it may not be possible to fold a second-row seatback all the way down because it may hit the seatback of the front seat which could scratch or damage the front seat or its pocket. Remove the head restraint on the second-row outboard seat if necessary.
The seats cannot be flattened down while the second-row seats are unlocked even if the lever on the side of the head restraint is operated and the reclining lever is operated. Before folding down the second-row seats, move the seatback forward once, slide the seat rearward, and lock the seat.
-
Lower the head restraint to the lowest position.
-
Pull up the lever on the side of the second-row seat and fold the seatback.
Raising the Second-row Seatbacks
When returning a seatback to its upright position, make sure the 3-point seat belt is not caught in the seatback and the 3-point seat belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt is used while it is twisted and caught in the seatback, the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity, which could cause serious injury or death.
-
Press the seatback rearward and lock it in place.
Armrest
Be careful not to apply excessive force to the armrest such as by sitting on it. Otherwise, it could be deformed or damaged.
