WARNING: Before returning the seat back to its original position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seat back. After returning the seat back to its original position, pull on the seat back to make sure that it has fully latched.

WARNING: Do not adjust or release the seat floor latch while vehicle is in motion. Do not operate the vehicle with seats in tumbled position. Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is occupied or empty. If not latched or if the seat is tumbled, the seat may cause injury during a sudden stop.

Note: Remove items from the second-row seat and make sure that no bulky objects such as purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the second-row seats before tumbling them.

Note: For second-row bench seats, make sure the center safety belt is unbuckled before folding the seat back.

Note: You may have to move the front-row seat forward to allow the second-row seat to be fully tumbled.
