Rear Seats

Take the following precautions:

  • Adjusting the seats

    • NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat may suddenly move and may injure the passenger.

    • Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the seat might move unexpectedly resulting in an accident.

  • Folding the seats

    • Do not fold the seatback when the seat is occupied (for example, passenger, pets or luggage). It may injure the passenger or pet, or damage the luggage.

    • Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop.

    • Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

    • When returning the rear seatback from a folded to an upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. Ensure that the seatback is completely locked into its upright position by pushing on the top of the seatback. In an accident or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback could allow cargo to move forward with great force and enter the passenger compartment, which could result in serious injury or death.

  • Loading cargo

    • Make sure the engine is off, the gear shifted to P (Park), and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift button or shift dial is inadvertently pressed or rotated to another position.

    • When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the cargo is properly secured to prevent it from moving while driving.

  • Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit vehicle occupants in a collision causing serious injury or death.

Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms while adjusting the seats.

To prevent damage to the vehicle:

  • Rear seat belts

    Before folding the seatback, insert the seat belt buckle in the holder between the seatback and cushion. And insert the seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.

  • Cargo

    Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.

The 3rd row seat that is remotely folded or unfolded, is controlled only when the shift button is in “P” with Start ON, or the shift button is in “N” and the parking brake is in “ON.”

However, the seat is controlled at any condition in Start OFF state. When the vehicle moves or shifts while the seat is being controlled, the seat may stop operation.

When you press the switch once more while folding and unfolding the seat, operation stops. When you press the switch again, the operation resumes.

With the seat folded, when you press the angle adjusting switch, the seat is unfolded.

Without starting the engine, the 3rd row seat can be folded or unfolded. When this is attempted more than 10 times, the battery may discharge prematurely.

Do not apply excessive force to the 3rd row seat while in operation. It may damage the seat.

When you operate the seat over 5 times with no rest, the electric motor may be overloaded. In this case, the seat changes to overheat prevention mode. Then you cannot operate the seat by pressing the switch. Leave the seat for over 1 minute for later operation.

Detection of object caught

While folding or unfolding the 3rd row seat, when a consistent force is detected, the seat returns to its original position or stops operation.

However, this function may not work when the detected resistance is below a specific level or the seat is almost folded or unfolded. When a strong impact is applied to the seat, the object detection function may be activated even if no obstacle is present.

When any object caught is detected multiple times while operating the seat once, folding and unfolding are repeated consecutively and then the operation may stop. In this case, check that any object is caught and then operate the switch again to check for abnormality.

When the object detection is enabled, the angle of the seat back may be changed. When you operate the seat once by pressing the folding button, the angle of the seat back is reset.

Do not place any part of your body or anything in the operating area to intentionally check the detection of any object caught.

For safety, when folding or unfolding the 3rd row seat, make sure that there is no part of body or object. To prevent damage to the seatbelt, insert it into its holder and store it in the retractor inside a seat.

When the child restraint system (CRS) is installed on the 3rd row seat, remove the CRS and then operate the seat.

When there is any object on the cushion of the 3rd row seat, remove it and then operate the seat.
