Warning
G
When occupants have entered or exited the
vehicle using the easy-entry/exit feature,
before driving off make sure
ț the outboard second-row seats are
properly locked
ț 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 se-
rious or even fatal injuries.
