To move the seat forward or backward:

  1. Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up and hold it.

  2. Slide the seat to the position you desire.

  3. Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in place.

Adjust the seat before driving, and make sure the seat is locked securely by trying to move forward and backward without using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not locked properly.

Walk-in seat (2nd row seat)

2nd row outboard seat

To get in or out from the 3rd row seat:

  1. Lift the armrest up and lower the headrest to the lowest position (if necessary).

  2. Pull up the walk-in strap (1) or pull the walk-in lever (2) on the 2nd row seat when the passenger gets out from 3rd row seat.

  3. After getting in or out, push the 2nd row seat to the original position until it clicks into place. Make sure that the seat is locked in place.

WARNING

Never attempt to adjust the 2nd row seat whilst the vehicle is moving or the seat is occupied as the seat may suddenly move and cause the passenger on the seat to be injured.

Seatback angle (2nd, 3rd row seat)

To recline the seatback:

  1. Pull up the seatback recline lever or strap.

  2. Hold the lever or strap and adjust the seatback of the seat to the position you desire.

  3. Release the lever or strap and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever MUST return to its original position for the seatback to lock.)

Seatback angle (2nd, 3rd row centre seat)

To recline the seatback:

  1. Pull the centre seatback adjustment lever (1) located on top of centre seatback upward.

  2. Hold the lever and adjust the seatback of the centre seat to the position you desire.

  3. Release the lever and make sure the seatback is locked in place. (The lever MUST return to its original position for the seatback to lock.)

WARNING

  • The seatback recline angle of the 2nd, 3rd row centre seats in an 11 seater vehicle is limited. If the angle of a seatback is adjusted whilst a passenger is seated, the seatback may fall back excessively. Please adjust the seatback angle before taking a seat.

  • The seatback adjustment lever is located on top of the 2nd, 3rd row centre seats for 11 seater vehicles. If a passenger in the 3rd or 4th row seat tampers with the 2nd, 3rd centre seatback adjustment lever, the seatback could fold down suddenly and result in injury and more. Actively prevent possible injury by informing all vehicle passengers that centre seatbacks may fall back suddenly if another passenger operates the centre seatback lever.

NOTICE

  • The forward and backward position of the 2nd, 3rd row centre seats in an 11 seater vehicle are adjusted in accordance with the driver side seat of the 2nd, 3rd row seats.

  • The seatback of the 4th row seats do not move - neither forward, backward, nor recline.

Folding the rear seat (3rd row seat)

The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects that could not be accommodated in the cargo area.

Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback whilst the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

3rd row seat

  1. Insert the rear seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.

  2. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the front seat forward.

  3. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.

  4. Pull on the seatback folding strap, then fold the seat toward the front of the vehicle. When you return the seatback to its upright position, always be sure it has locked into position by pushing on the top of the seatback.

  5. To use the rear seat, lift and pull the seatback backward by pulling on the folding strap. Pull the seatback firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure the seatback is locked in place.

  6. Return the rear seat belt to the proper position.

Folding the seat (2nd, 3rd row centre seat)

  1. Pull the centre seatback adjustment lever (1) located on top of centre seatback upward.

  2. Fully fold down the seatback (2) whilst pulling on the lever (1).

  3. Maintain a firm hold of the lower part of the centre seat and fold toward the driver side seat (3).

  4. Safely store the centre seat's two point seat belt in the storage compartment located under the centre seat.

WARNING

Uprighting seat

When you return the seatback to its upright position, hold the seatback and return it slowly. If the seatback is returned without holding it, the back of the seat could spring forward resulting in injury caused by being struck by the seatback.

CAUTION

Damaging rear seat belt buckles

When you fold the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seat back, insert the buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion. Doing so can prevent the buckle from being damaged by the rear seatback.

CAUTION

Rear seat belts

When returning the rear (2nd and/or 3rd row) seatbacks to the up right position, remember to return the rear shoulder belts to their proper position. Routing the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will help keep the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.

Stowing the rear seat (4th row seat)

The rear seat can be folded and stowed in the luggage compartment to provide additional cargo space.

To stow the rear seat:

  1. Insert the rear seat belt buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion, and insert the rear seat belt webbing in the guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged.

    * For further information, refer to More Details.

  2. Pull down the headrests of the 4th row seats as far down as possible (1).

  3. Pull the folding strap (2) located on back of the seatback. The 4th row seats will fold down.

  4. Firmly press on the seatback to securely stow the seats in place.

To use the rear seat:

  1. Pull on the folding strap (1), and at the same time, pull up the top of the seatback (2).

  2. Fully pull the seatback to upright position and then let go of the strap (1). The seatback will lock in place. To confirm, try to move the seatback front to back. Then, adjust the head rest to suit the occupant.

WARNING

  • When open a folding seatback, position the fold back strap vertically to the seatback and pull upward.

  • If the 4th row seatback's folding strap is pulled whilst either passenger, pet, or luggage is in the seat, the folded 4th row seats will cause harm to the occupant or luggage. Before fully folding down the 4th row seats, always make sure there is no passenger, pet, luggage in the seats.

  • When the 4th row seatback is pulled up to upright positions but not locked into place, the seatback may move suddenly. Always release the strap to securely lock the seatback in position.

  • Underneath the 4th row seats, there is equipment for stowing. Prevent getting any part of the body or clothing caught in the crevice under the seats.

CAUTION

Prior to adjusting the 4th row seats, move the 3rd row seats and seatbacks to the desired position beforehand. The seatbacks may clash whilst folding and unfolding and result in damage.

WARNING

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.

WARNING

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the shift lever or dial is in P (Park) position, and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever or dial is inadvertently moved to another position.

WARNING

4th row seat

4th row occupants should always remain in the centre of the seat cushion so the occupants' heads are protected by the headrest. If not, the tailgate may hit the occupant's head, which could cause injury.

Full flat seats (if equipped)

Only use the full flat seat mode when the 4th row seats are completely folded down.

  1. Push the 3rd row seats (1) toward the rear end of the vehicle as far as possible.

  2. Push the 2nd row seats (2) to the front of the vehicle as far as possible.

  3. Remove the 2nd row seat headrests (3).

  4. Fully recline the 2nd row seatbacks (4).

Pull up the seatback adjustment lever located on top of the 2nd, 3rd row centre seats to recline.

WARNING

  • Do not move the vehicle with a passenger and any full flat seat.

  • Make sure any part of the body, such as hand and foot, is well out-of-the way whilst adjusting the seatback recline angle.

NOTICE

  • When returning the seats to upright positions, reinstall the headrests to original positions.

  • Do not put heavy pressure nor load heavy cargo on the seatback when in full flat position. It may damage the seatback.

  • Be careful of seat belt entanglement in fully flat mode. Protect against possible seat belt damage by storing it in seat belt holders.
