properly locked
R the seat backrests of the outboard
second-row seats are in an upright
position and are properly locked
An outboard second-row seat is properly
locked only when lock status indicator 1
is in hinged position and red marking 2 is
barely visible.
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.
