3. The seatbacks fold forward, and then the entire seat unit
rises up while moving forward.
4. After these operations, lightly push the seat and seatback
to make sure they are set firmly in place.
OTE
● Always store the buckles in the second seat cushion slits
before folding the seatbacks forward. If the seatback is
folded forward while the buckles are not stored, it could
damage the seat (refer to “Second and third seat belt stor-
age” on page 2-38).
WARNING
!
● When folding the seatbacks forward from behind,
an adult should perform the operation, making sure
there is no one in the second seat. The seatback
could fall forward suddenly and trap the person
between it and the seat cushion, causing a serious
injury.
It is difficult to see the second seat from behind, so
be especially careful of small children.
CAUTION
!
● The exhaust pipe is still hot for a while after stop-
ping the engine, so be sure not to touch it.
● Do not let people sit on the held seats, and do not
place luggage on them. The installation fitting of the
seat could be deformed, making it impossible to
secure the seat to the vehicle.
