Rear Seat
Split Folding the Seatbacks
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage
compartment space can be expanded.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on
folded down seatbacks or in the luggage
compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage
compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could lead
to serious injury or death during sudden
braking or a collision.
Do not allow children to play inside the
vehicle with the seatbacks lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatbacks were
raised back up, the child may become
trapped in the luggage compartment
which could lead to an accident.
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported with
the seatbacks folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo and
luggage is dangerous as it could move and
become an obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision resulting
in an unexpected accident.
When transporting cargo, do not allow the
cargo to exceed the height of the
seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than
the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to
the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced
which could interfere with driving
operations and lead to an accident.
Lowering the seatbacks
CAUTION
(5–Door)
When folding the seatback forward,
always support the seatback with your
hand. If it is not supported by a hand,
ngers
or the hand pressing the push
knob could be injured.
Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback.
Depending on the position of a front
seat, it may not be possible to fold a rear
seatback all the way down because it
may hit the seatback of the front seat
which could scratch or damage the front
seat or its pocket. Lower or remove the
head restraint on the rear outboard seat
if necessary.
