WARNING

• Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury or death in an accident or sudden stop.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position.

  If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

• Closely supervise children when they are around cars to prevent them from playing and becoming locked in the trunk where they could be seriously injured.

  Keep the car locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid securely latched when not in use, and prevent children's access to car keys.

To fold down the driver side of the rear seat, open the trunk and pull on the strap 1 .

The rear seats can be locked using the mechanical key to prevent unauthorized access. For additional information on keys, refer to "Interior trunk access" in the "Pre-driving checks and adjustments" section of this manual.
