Rear seat adjustment
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to facil-
itate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
1. Insert the rear seat belt buckle in the
pocket (if equipped) between the rear
seatback and cushion, and insert the
rear seat belt webbing into the guide to
prevent the seat belt from being dam-
aged.
2. Set the front seatback to the upright
position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
3.Lower the rear headrests to the lowest
position.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects that could not be
accommodated in the cargo area.
Never allow passengers sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use.
Ignoring this warning could result
in serious injury or death in case of
an accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
Doing this could allow cargo to
slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.
WARNING
For proper operation of the
Occupant Detection System (ODS):
Do not place any items cumula-
tively weighing over 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
in the seatback pocket or on the
front passenger seat.
Do not hanging clothing or other
articles on the front passenger
seat.
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Do not place objects on the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
