Toyota CH-R: Rear seats

The seatbacks of the rear seats can be folded down.

Folding down and returning the rear seatbacks

■ Folding down the rear seatbacks

1. Move the front seats forward.

2. Stow the rear center seat belt buckle.

3. Lower the head restraints to the lowest position.

4. Pull the seatback lock release lever and fold the seatback down.

Each seatback may be folded separately.

■ Returning the rear seatbacks

To avoid trapping the seat belt between the seat and the inside of the vehicle, pass the seat belt outside the seat belt guide A and then return the seatback securely to the locked position.

WARNING

■When folding the rear seatbacks down

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

• Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
• Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift position to P.
• Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while driving.
• Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
• Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
• Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks.
• Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seatbacks so that the front seats do not interfere with the rear seatbacks when folding down the rear seatbacks.

■After returning the rear seatback to the upright position

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

• Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it back and forth.

  If the seatback is not securely locked, the red marking will be visible on the seatback lock release lever. Make sure that the red marking is not visible.

• Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.

  If the seat belt gets caught between the seatback's securing hook and latch, it may damage the seat belt.
