Hatchback
Lower the head restraint all the way down.
Refer to Head Restraints, see page 2-10.
Press the push knob to fold down the seatback.
Secure the rear seat belt in the belt clip.
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.
When returning a seatback to its upright position, make sure that it is firmly locked and the red indication is not visible (Hatchback).
If the red indication is visible behind the push knob, it means the seatback is not locked.
If the vehicle is driven without the seatback locked, it could fold down suddenly and cause an accident.
