CAUTION
The seat-bottom power adjust is
•
operated by a motor. Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motor.
To prevent the battery from running
•
down, avoid using the power adjust when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a great amount of electric power.
Don’t use the switch to make more
•
than one adjustment at a time.

Unlocked Seatback: An unlocked seatback is dangerous. While stowing the seat, the seatback could suddenly move causing serious injury. Push the seatback forward and backward to make sure it is locked in place.
NOTE
Remove any items from the seat well for the third-row seat before stowing the seat. Anything in the baggage area when the seat is set into the well can damage the seatback material and prevent a flat cargo area.
