WARNING

• Never allow passengers to ride on the folded seatback or in the cargo area. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.

• Secure skis and other long items properly to prevent them from being thrown around inside the vehicle and causing serious injury during a sudden stop, a sudden steering maneuver or a rapid acceleration.

• When you return the seatback to its original position, shake the seatback slightly to confirm that it is securely fixed in place. If the seatback is not securely fixed in place, the seatback may suddenly fold down in the event of sudden braking, or objects may move out from the cargo area, which could cause serious injury or death.

• After returning the seatback to its original position, be sure to place all of the seatbelts and the tab attached to the seat cushion above the seat cushion. Also, make certain that the shoulder belts are fully visible.

1. Pull the lowering strap to lower the head restraint.

2. Pull up the folding lever to release the seatback lock, and fold down the seatback.

Refer to “Head restraint adjustment”.

To return the seatback to its original position, raise the seatback until it locks into place. Make sure it is securely locked.

NOTE

• Before folding or raising the seatback of the third-row seat, confirm that the seatbelt is flat against the sidewall at the lower point and the webbing is attached to the holder.

• When raising the seatback of the third-row seat, if the seatbelt catches on the seatback, hold the belt forward of the seatback while latching the seatback.
