2nd row seat folding (from the luggage room)
![]() OLQ2A065065 |
The 2nd row seat folding/unfolding switch is located on the left side in the luggage room.
If you press and hold the upper switch, the left side seatback and center seatback will fold.
If you press and hold the lower switch, the right side seatback will fold.
When returning to the original position, raise the seatback by pressing the seatback folding/unfolding switch located on the left side of the luggage compartment.
Functions may be limited when using functions related to the 2nd row (relaxation seat, walk-in seat, seat folding) in a location where the driver's seat and the 2nd row seat interfere.
If the seat is operated more than 5 times without resting, the seat motor may be overtaxed. In this case, the seat will not operate when the button is pressed to prevent overheating. Wait for about 1 minute or more before operating.
Do not fold the rear seatbacks down until the driver’s seat is positioned properly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the driver to operate the vehicle with the seat out of position, which increases the risk of bodily injury in a sudden stop or collision.
Raising the seatback upright
When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. If the seatback is returned without holding it, the back of the seat could spring forward, striking the driver or passengers and resulting in injury.
Never attempt to fold the seat when there are passengers, animals, or other obstructions in the 2nd or 3rd row seats or rear seating area, or while an occupant is entering or exiting the vehicle. Failure to do so increases the risk of serious injury or death. Children occupying the 2nd or 3rd row seats or rear seating area should be supervised at all times.
Rear seatback
To ensure maximum protection in the event of an accident or sudden stop, when returning the rear seat to the upright position:
-
Be careful not to damage the seat belt webbing or buckle.
-
Do not allow the rear seat to pinch or catch the seat belt webbing or buckle.
-
Ensure the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback.
Protecting rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert the buckle between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the rear seatback from damaging the buckle.
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks to the upright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position.
Cargo
Always secure cargo 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.
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is OFF, the shift lever is set to P (Park), and the parking brake is applied when loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever is inadvertently set to a different gear.
