Returning the backrest to the upright position

1.Fold up the backrest to the upright posi- tion.

2.Grasp the strap (see illustration 3 above) and pull the seat cushion out until it locks in place. This also locks the backrest in the upright position.

WARNING

•When one or more sections of the back- rest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place by pushing and pulling it. The red indi- cators should also not be visible.

•Return the outboard head restraints to the upright position.

•Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.

•Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.

•Place the transmission in the Park (P) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.

•On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high tem- peratures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.

2Please note that the head restraints in this row cannot be vertically adjusted.
