To return the seat to the normal position,
follow the procedure below.
52RM20170
Raise the seatback until it locks into place.
After returning the seat, move the seat-
back back and forth to check if it is
securely latched.
NOTE:
After returning the rear seatback, check
that the seat belts are not twisted or caught
in the rear seatback.
WARNING
When you move a seatback, make
sure the belt webbing is hooked in
the seat belt hangers so the seat
belts are not caught by the seatback,
seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps
prevent damage to the belt system.
CAUTION
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, be careful that
your finger is not caught between the
lock and the striker.
NOTICE
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, check that there
is nothing around the striker. Any for-
eign materials prevent the seatback
from being locked securely.
CAUTION
• Do not put your hand into the rear
seatback lock opening, or your fin-
ger may get caught and be injured.
• After securing the rear seatback,
check that it is locked securely. If it
is not, red will appear in the release
lever.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, do not allow
any foreign material to enter the
lock opening. This may prevent the
seatback from being locked
securely.
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, handle it
carefully by hand to avoid any dam-
age to the lock itself. Do not push it
by using some material or by
applying excessive force.
• As the lock is designed exclusively
for securing the rear seatback, do
not use it for any other purpose.
Incorrect use of it may cause dam-
age to the inside of the lock and
prevent the seatback from being
locked securely.
