Seat Operation

Seat Slide (Forward-back adjustment)

To move a seat forward or backward, raise the lever and slide the seat to the desired position and release the lever.

Make sure the lever returns to its original position and the seat is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward.

Seat Recline

To change the seatback angle, lean forward slightly while raising the lever. Then lean back to the desired position and release the lever.

The lever can also be used when flattening down the seats.

Make sure the lever returns to its original position and the seatback is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward.

Third-Row Seat Access

To access to the third-row seats, pull up the lever on the side of the head restraint to fold the seatback and slide the seat forward.

Split folding the Second-Row Seats

To create a flat luggage compartment space, fold the seatbacks forward.

Folding the seatbacks

 


Make sure the adjustable components of a second-row seat are locked after folding down the seatback:

A second-row seat that is not securely locked is dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the second-row seat could move, causing injury.

After folding down the seatback of a second-row seat, make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward.

 


  • When folding the seatback forward, always support the seatback with your hand. If it is not supported by a hand, fingers or the hand raising the lever could be injured.

  • Check the position of a front seat before folding a second-row seatback.

    Depending on the position of a front seat, it may not be possible to fold a second-row seatback all the way down because it may hit the seatback of the front seat which could scratch or damage the front seat or its pocket. Remove the head restraint on the second-row outboard seat if necessary.

  1. Lower the head restraint all the way down.

    Refer to Head Restraints (Search).

  2. Raise the lever on the side of the second-row seat to fold down the seatback.

 


To create a flat luggage compartment space from the rear of the vehicle to the back of the front seats, fold the second-row and third-row seats (Search).

To return the seatback to its upright position:

 


When returning a seatback to its upright position, make sure the 3-point seat belt is not caught in the seatback and the 3-point seat belt is not twisted:

If the seat belt is used while it is twisted and caught in the seatback, the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity, which could cause serious injury or death.

  1. Make sure that the seat belt is not stuck in the second-row seat and it is not twisted, then raise the seatback while preventing the seat belt from being caught in the seatback.

  2. Press the seatback rearward and lock it in place. After returning the seatback to its upright position, make sure it is securely locked.

Height Adjustment

Adjust the head restraint so that the center is even with the top of the passenger's ears.

 

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the desired position.

To lower the head restraint, press the stop-catch release, then push the head restraint down.
