Stowing the rear seat (4th row seat)

The rear seat can be folded and stowed in the luggage compartment to provide additional cargo space.

OKA4023107R

To stow the rear seat:

  1. Insert the rear seat belt buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion, and insert the rear seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.

    For further information, refer to Seat belts.

  2. Pull down the headrests of the 4th row seats as far down as possible (1).

  3. Pull the folding strap (2) located on back of the seatback. The 4th row seats will fold down.

  4. Firmly press on the seatback to securely stow the seats in place.

OKA4H023037

To use the rear seat:

  1. Pull on the folding strap (1), and at the same time, pull up the top of the seatback (2).

  2. Fully pull the seatback to upright position and then let go of the strap (1). The seatback will lock in place. To confirm, try to move the seatback front to back. Then, adjust the head rest to suit the occupant.

WARNING

  • When open a folding seatback, position the fold back strap vertically to the seatback and pull upward.

    OKA4H023038

  • If the 4th row seatback's folding strap is pulled whilst either passenger, pet, or luggage is in the seat, the folded 4th row seats will cause harm to the occupant or luggage. Before fully folding down the 4th row seats, always make sure there is no passenger, pet, luggage in the seats.

  • When the 4th row seatback is pulled up to upright positions but not locked into place, the seatback may move suddenly. Always release the strap to securely lock the seatback in position.

  • Underneath the 4th row seats, there is equipment for stowing. Prevent getting any part of the body or clothing caught in the crevice under the seats.

CAUTION

Prior to adjusting the 4th row seats, move the 3rd row seats and seatbacks to the desired position beforehand. The seatbacks may clash whilst folding and unfolding and result in damage.

WARNING

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.

WARNING

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the shift lever or dial is in P (Park) position, and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever or dial is inadvertently moved to another position.

WARNING

4th row seat

4th row occupants should always remain in the centre of the seat cushion so the occupants' heads are protected by the headrest. If not, the tailgate may hit the occupant's head, which could cause injury.
