CAUTION
! Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
! Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger or luggage.
! Adjust both seat cushions to the
same position and align all seat-
backs at the same angle when a
person sits in the rear center posi-
tion. Otherwise, the person cannot
wear the seat belt properly and this
may cause death or serious injuries
in a collision.
! After adjusting the seat position,
try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is locked in posi-
tion.
! After adjusting the seatback, push
back your body to make sure the
seat is locked in position.
! When returning seats to their origi-
nal position, observe the following
precautions in order to prevent
death or serious injury in a colli-
sion or sudden stop:
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
Folding down the seats will enlarge the
luggage compartment. See “—Stowage
precautions” on page 336 in Section 2 for
precautions when loading luggage.
