Rear seats

Take the following precautions:

  • Adjusting the seats

    • NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat may suddenly move and may injure the passenger.

    • Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the seat might move unexpectedly, and could result in an accident.

  • Folding the seats

    • Do not fold the seatback when the seat is occupied (for example, passenger, pets or luggage). It may injure the passenger or pet, or damage the luggage.

    • Never allow passengers to 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. This 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. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

    • When returning the rear seatback from a folded to an upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. In an accident or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback could allow cargo to move forward with great force and enter the passenger compartment, which could result in serious injury or death.

  • Loading cargo

    • Make sure the engine is off, the vehicle is shifted to P (Park), and the parking brake is applied before loading or unloading cargo to prevent unintended movement of the vehicle.

    • When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the cargo is properly secured to prevent it from moving while driving.

  • Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit vehicle occupants in a collision causing serious injury or death.

Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms while adjusting the seats.

To prevent damage to the vehicle:

  • Rear seat belts

    Before folding the seatback, insert the seat belt buckle in the holder between the seatback and cushion. And insert the seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.

  • Cargo

    Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.

Folding the rear seat

The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

To fold down the rear seatback:

  1. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the front seat forward.

  2. Push and hold the release button (1) on the head restraint support. Lower the head restraint to the desired position (2).

  3. Locate the seatbelt toward the outboard position before folding down the seatback to avoid the seatbelt system interfering with the seatback.
