WARNING
Improper folding and improper latching of the third row seat backrests can cause serious per‐
sonal injury.
Never fold a third row seat backrest forward or back when the vehicle is moving.
When folding the backrest into the upright position, be careful not to catch or damage the
safety belt in the backrest hinges.
Always keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the way of the seat hinges and
the seat locking mechanism when folding the backrest forward and back.
Floor mats and other objects can get caught in the backrest hinges. This can cause the back‐
rest to latch incorrectly when folded into the upright position.
If the loop on the backrest ⇒Fig.79 is attached too tightly to the backrest, the backrest may
not securely latch. Detach the loop and try to latch the backrest again.
The backrest must always be securely latched in the upright position so that the safety belts in
the third row can offer optimum protection. If a seat is occupied while the backrest is not se‐
curely latched in the upright position, the vehicle occupant will move with the backrest during a
sudden braking maneuver or in an accident.
