WARNING

■

Seat adjustment

●

Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

●

Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. 
If the seat is too reclined, 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 serious injury in the event of
an accident.

●

Manual  seat  only:  After  adjusting  the  seat,  make  sure  that  the  seat  is
locked in position.

■

When adjusting the seat positions
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.

●

Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift

ing.

●

Do not allow children to enter the trunk.

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.

●

Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks.

●

Adjust the position of the front seat before folding down the rear seatbacks
so that the front seat does not interfere with the rear seatbacks when fold-
ing down the rear seatbacks.

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

NOTICE

■

When the rear right seatback is folded down
Make  sure  the  luggage  loaded  in  the  enlarged  trunk  will  not  damage  the
webbing of the rear center seat belt.

●

Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked  in  position  by  lightly  rocking  it
back and forth.
If  the  seatback  is  not  securely  locked,
the  red  marking  will  be  visible  on  the
