Safety features of your vehicle Seat
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
Folded Seatback
The purpose of the fold-down rear seat
-
backs is to allow you to carry larger
objects that could not otherwise be
accommodated.
僅 Never allow a passenger to sit on top
of the folded down seatback while the
car is moving. This is not a proper
seating position since no seat belts
are available for use.
僅 To reduce the risk of injury caused by
sliding cargo within the passenger
compartment of the vehicle, objects
carried on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than the top
of the front seats.
Folding down the rear seatback
1. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position by pressing the headrest
release button (1) while pulling the
headrest down (2).
Objects
Objects carried on the folded down seat
-
back should not extend higher than the
top of the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden stops.
3. Route the seat belt webbing to the
outboard of the rear seat to prevent
the belts from being trapped behind
or under the seats.
4. Pull on the seatback folding lever,
then fold the seat toward the front of
the vehicle. When you return the seat
-
back to its upright position, always be
sure it has locked into position by
pushing on the top of the seatback.
