Getting in or out of the Rear Seat

 

Do not operate a front seat while an occupant is seated in it:

Folding down the seatback or operating the seat switch while an occupant is seated in the seat is dangerous because the seatback folds down or reclines suddenly, and moves to an unintended position which may affect the driving when operated which could cause an injury.

When returning the operated seat to its sitting position, make sure that the seat is firmly locked and the red indication on the walk in strap is not visible (Manual seat):

If the vehicle is driven without the seat firmly locked, the seatback could fold down suddenly and cause an accident. In addition, the seat is not locked if the red indication on the walk in strap is visible. Make sure that the seat is firmly locked and the red indication on the walk in strap is not visible.
