FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats when
they are in the fold-down position. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
without proper restraints are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts. Be sure ev-
eryone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
∙ Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or
feet to get caught or pinched in the
seat.
∙ Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against in-
jury in an accident. Always replace
and adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason.
∙ If the head restraints/headrests are
removed for any reason, they should
be securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers or
damage to the vehicle in case of sud-
den braking or an accident.
∙ When returning rear row seatbacks to
the upright position, the operator
should always verify that the back is
locked in the upright position by gen-
tly rocking the seatback before allow-
ing passengers to occupy the rear
seats. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
∙ Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Folding the rear bench seat
Before folding the rear seats:
∙ Disconnect and secure the center seat
belt and tongue into the retractor base.
For additional information, refer to
“Stowing the rear center seat belt” in this
section.
∙ Secure the seat belts on the seat belt
hooks on the side wall. For additional
information, refer to “Seat belt hook” in
this section.
∙ Remove drink containers from the rear
cup holder.
