Walk-in seat (2nd row seat)
To get in to the 3rd row seat:
-
Push the walk-in switch (2) on the 2nd row seat to get in to the 3rd row seat.
To get out of the 3rd row seat:
-
Push the walk-in switch (1) on the 2nd row seat to get out of the 3rd row seat.
-
After getting in or out, push the 2nd row seat to the original position until it clicks into place. Make sure that the seat is locked in place.
Never attempt to adjust using the 2nd row seat walk-in switch or strap while the vehicle is moving or seat is occupied as the seat may suddenly move and cause the passenger on the seat to be injured.
-
If the walk-in switch (1 or 2) in the 2nd row (in the upper part of the 2nd row seatback or the outer part of the seat) does not work, pull the strap (3) on the bottom left of the seat in the 2nd row. It works just like the walk-in switch and you can move the seat forward along with the seatback.
WARNINGDo not pull the strap (3) when the 2nd-row seat(s) is/are occupied.
Sudden movement of the seat(s) may result in injury. Use the strap only when the folding switch in the 2nd row (in the upper part of the second-row seatback or the outer part of the seat) does not work.
-
This strap (3) is for 3rd row passengers to exit the vehicle even if when the vehicle's battery power is in run-out emergency condition in an accident.
Uprighting seat
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, resulting in injury caused by being struck by the seatback.
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 seat belt webbing or buckle to become pinched or caught in the rear seat.
-
Ensure the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback.
Failure to adhere to any of these instructions could result in serious injury or death in the event of a crash.
Damaging rear seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear seatback, insert the buckle between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the buckle from being damaged by the rear seatback.
Rear seat belts
When returning the rear seatbacks to the upright position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position.
Unless the driver's position is properly set according to the driver's physical figure, do not fold the rear seat. It may increase bodily injuries in a sudden stop or collision.
Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.
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.
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the transmission is in P (Park) 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 is inadvertently moved to another position.
