WARNING
When occupants have entered or exited the
vehicle using the easy-entry/exit feature,
before driving off make sure
• the seats are properly locked
• the seat backrests are in an upright
position
and are properly locked
If a seat and seat backrest are not properly
locked, the seat could move forward and the
seat backrest could fold. You could slide
under the seat belt during braking, vehicle
maneuvers, or in an accident. If you slide
under it, the seat belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could cause serious
or even fatal injuries.
► To lock the seat: fold back the seat
until
it engages.
► Fold back the backrest until it engages.
Lean back firmly against the backrest to ensure that it is engaged.

WARNING
To help avoid personal injury when folding the
seat backrest forward, make sure you move
both feet and legs all the way back and out of
the way to avoid them contacting the seat as
it pivots forward.
In order to prevent an accident or any other
potentially dangerous situations when

make sure you are aware of the traffic
situation at all times.
