Using remote handle

*

1.

(With rear seat warmer)

Turn the rear seat warmer switch off.
Refer to Seat Warmer on page 2-14.

2. After checking that the rear seats are

clear, open the liftgate and lower the
seatback you want to fold down using
the remote handle.
When folding the left side, operate the
outer part of the remote handle.

WARNING

Always remove the child-restraint system
from the rear seat before operating the
remote handle for the rear seat:

Operating the remote handle while a
rear-facing child-restraint system is in the
rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury
to a child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly flips
forward.

Make sure there is nobody in the rear seat
area before operating (pulling) the remote
handle:

Not checking the rear seat area for persons
before folding the seatbacks with the strap/
remote handle is dangerous. The rear seat
area is difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the remote
handle without checking could cause injury
to a person when a seatback suddenly flips
forward.

CAUTION



Before folding the seatbacks down with
the remote handle, make sure there is no
cup in a rear cup holder. Folding the
seatbacks with the remote handle while
a cup is in the cup holder could soil or
damage the seat bottom and seatback.



Be careful of the following when using
the remote handle:



On a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a flat
surface.



On an upward slope, the seatback may
not fold down. When the seatbacks
cannot be folded down with the
remote handle, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.
