Rear Seat
WARNING:
Make sure luggage and cargo is
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
Do not drive with the seatback
unlocked:
All of the seatbacks play an
important role in your protection in a
vehicle. Leaving the seatback
unlocked is dangerous as it can allow
passengers to be ejected or thrown
around and baggage to strike
occupants in a sudden stop or
collision, resulting in severe injury.
After returning the seatback at any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
Never give the car keys to children and
do not allow them to play in the
vehicle:
Playing with the folding rear seats is
dangerous.
Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children: Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children who find their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seatback or an open trunk can become accidentally locked in the trunk. This could result in death or brain damage from heat prostration, particularly in the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your home or not.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not find or
play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. Children may find these new
kinds of keys to be an interesting toy
to play with and could cause the
power windows or other controls to
operate, or even make the vehicle
move.
NOTE:
When returning a rear seat to its original
position, also replace the seat belt to its
normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls
out and retracts.
Split-Folding Rear Seatback
The seatbacks can be folded down to provide more space in the trunk.
To fold down the seatbacks
WARNING:
Always remove the child-restraint
system from the rear seat before
operating the straps (in trunk) for the
rear seat:
Operating (pulling) the straps (in
trunk) while a rear-facing childrestraint
system is in the rear seat is
dangerous. It could cause injury to a
child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly
flips forward.
Make sure there is nobody in the rear
seat area before operating (pulling) the
straps (in trunk):
Not checking the rear seat area for
persons before folding the seatbacks
down with the straps (in trunk) is
dangerous. The rear seat area is
difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the straps
(in trunk) without checking could
cause injury to a person when a
seatback suddenly flips forward.
CAUTION:
Before folding the seatbacks down
with the straps (in trunk), make sure
there is no cup in a rear cup holder.
Folding the seatbacks with the straps (in trunk) while a cup is in the cup holder could soil or damage the seat bottom and seatback.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when
using the straps (in trunk):
On a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a
flat surface.
1. After checking that the rear seats are clear, open the trunk and pull the straps (in trunk) on the left and right sides of the trunk.
2. Open the rear door and fold the rear seatbacks forward.
To return the seatbacks to the upright position
1. Lift the seatbacks upright.
2. Pull on the top of the seatbacks from inside the vehicle to make sure they are locked.
WARNING:
Always make sure the seat belts are
fully pulled out from under the
seatbacks:
A seat belt caught under a seatback
after the seatback is returned to its
upright position is dangerous. In a
collision or sudden stop, the seat belt
cannot provide adequate protection.
Armrest
The rear armrest in the center of the rear seatback can be used (no occupant in the center seat) or placed upright.
