The next time the driver's door is unlocked
with the same remote key and that door is
opened within 2 minutes, the driver's seat
and side door mirrors will automatically
move to the position that they were in when
the doors were most recently locked with
the same remote key.

Folding down the rear seat backrests

G009109

CAUTION

•

When the backrests are folded down,
the head restraints may be damaged if
they are not removed.

•

To help prevent damage to the uphols-
tery when the backrest is folded down,
be sure that there are no objects on the
seat and that the seat belt is not buck-
led.

Both sections of the rear seat backrest can be
folded down, together or separately, to enable
you to transport long objects.

04 Interior

Rear seat

118

To fold down one or both sections:

Pull the catch on the upper outboard edge
of the backrest upward and forward to
release the backrest lock. A red lock indi-
cator (A) is visible when the backrest is not
locked in the upright position.

Fold the backrest down.

G007608

WARNING

•

The red lock indicator is VISIBLE when
the backrest is NOT locked in position
and hidden when the backrest is cor-
rectly locked in place. When the back-
rest is in the upright position, push and
pull it to make sure that it is correctly
locked in place.

•

When the rear seat is folded down, do
not place heavy objects against the
backs of the front seats. This places a
severe strain on the folded down back-
rest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure
cargo.

•

Cargo must not be stacked higher than
the top of seat backs. This will reduce
the possibility of luggage, etc. becom-
ing projectiles during sudden maneu-
vers, rapid braking or an accident.

Rear seat armrest

The space between the rear seats can be used
for transporting long objects.

WARNING

•

The center of the rear seat is not a seat-
ing position. This space is not equipped
with a seat belt or ISOFIX anchors. No
one should attempt to sit in this position
and child seats should never be placed
in the center of the rear seat.

•

The rear seat center armrest is fixed in
the folded down position and cannot be
folded up.
