Essential Safety Equipment
Seats
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants
on folded down seatback(s) 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 seatback(s) lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle
with the seatback(s) folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage
compartment and the seatback(s) 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 seatback(s) 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
seatback(s).
Transporting cargo stacked higher
than the seatback(s) 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 seatback(s)
CAUTION
 
(Hatchback)

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.
Remove the head restraint on the rear
outboard seat if necessary.
