Rear seats – folding backrest
The rear seat head restraints and backrests can
be folded down. The center head restraint can
be raised/lowered according to the passenger's
height.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests are split and can be folded
down together or separately
1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the center
seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
When the backrests are folded down, move
the outboard head restraints forward slightly
so that they do not catch on the seat cushion.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to the upholstery, there
should be no objects on the rear seat and the
seat belt should not be buckled when the
backrest is folded down.
WARNING
•
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and
keep keys out of a child’s reach. Unsuper-
vised children could lock themselves in an
open trunk and risk injury. Children should
be taught not to play in vehicles.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk
or vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high temper-
atures for even a short period of time can
cause heat-related injury or death. Small
children are particularly at risk.

When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place by
pushing and pulling it.
•
Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•
Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the event
of a sudden stop.
•
Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
•
Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the vehi-
cle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
of people to these high temperatures for
even a short period of time can cause
heat-related injury or death. Small chil-
dren are particularly at risk.
