■ Seat adjustment
Second-row seats: To reduce the risk of
sliding under the lap belt during a colli-
sion, do not recline the seat more than
necessary.
If the seat is reclined excessively, 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 seri-
ous injury in the event of an accident.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Make sure that the rear seatback is
securely locked in position by lightly
pushing it back and forth.
● Check that the seat belts are not
twisted or caught between or behind
in the rear seatback.
● Arrange the seat belts in the proper
positions for ready use.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Never use any part of your body to
intentionally activate the jam protec-
tion function.
● The jam protection function may not
operate if something is caught just
before the fully folded position. Be
careful so that fingers, etc. do not get
caught.
● The jam protection function may not
operate depending on the shape or
position of the obstruction. Be careful
so that fingers, etc. do not get caught.
