the second-row seats are unlocked even if
the lever on the side of the head restraint
is operated and the reclining lever is
operated. Before folding down the
second-row seats, move the seatback
forward once, slide the seat rearward, and
lock the seat.

To return the seatback to its upright
position:

WARNING

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.
