Essential Safety Equipment; Make sure there is nobody in the rear seat; area before operating (pulling) the remote- Page 30

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.



(Folding the left seatback)

Be careful when operating the remote
handle with the center seatback folded
down. If a person sitting in the right rear
seat places a hand on the center
seatback, it could be pinched by a
seatback or seat component causing
injury.
