Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
& Reclining the seatback (if
equipped)
CAUTION
If the vehicle is equipped with a
cargo area cover, observe the following precautions.
. Be careful not to pinch your hand
between the head restraint and
the cargo area cover when you
recline the rear seat.
. Move the front cover of the cargo
area cover backward so that the
cover is not damaged by the
reclined seatback. Refer to “Cargo area cover (dealer option)”
F6-14.
WARNING
To prevent the passenger from sliding under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, always put the seatback
in the upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. Also, do not
place objects such as cushions
between the passenger and the
seatback. If you do so, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and of the
lap belt sliding up over the abdomen
will increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
Push the switch and adjust the seatback
to the desired position.
Then release the switch and make sure
the seatback is securely locked into place.
& Folding down the rear seatback
WARNING
. When you fold down the seatback, check that there are no
passengers or objects on the
rear seat. Not doing so creates
a risk of injury or property damage if the seatback suddenly
folds down.
. For models equipped with the
rear seat center table, return the
rear seat center table to its
original position before folding
down the rear seatback. If the
rear seat center table is not
returned to its original position,
the rear seat center table could
break and bodily injury could
occur.
. Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the cargo area. Doing so may
result in serious injury or death.
. Secure all objects and especially
long items properly to prevent
them from being thrown around
inside the vehicle and causing
