The third power seats can be operated when

●

The engine switch is off.

●

The shift lever is in P position (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
the parking brake is applied (vehicles with a manual transmission) with the
engine switch in IGNITION ON mode.

■

During third power seat stowing operation

Do not remove your hand from the switch until the operation stops automati-
cally. If you remove your hand from the switch, the operation will stop and the
buzzer will sound continuously. The buzzer will stop when the switch is
pressed again.

■

Enlarging the luggage compartment (vehicles with third power seats)

The third seat can be used for sitting when it is in the position shown in step

 of the folding down the third seats. (



P. 207)

This can be convenient for enlarging the luggage compartment, for instance
when the luggage is against the back of the seatback.

■

If the warning buzzer sounds continuously (vehicles with third power
seats)

If there is an abnormality in the system, the warning buzzer will sound contin-

If the warning buzzer does not stop even after performing the above proce-
dure correctly, perform the following operations:

Press and hold 

 on the rear door side. (The switches on the back

door side are not be used.)

While holding 

, press forward on 

 5 times within 10 seconds.

WARNING

■

When folding the seatbacks down

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●

Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

●

Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).

●

Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.

●

Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

■

Seat adjustment

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear console box
and the second seat when folding down the seatback.
