-Removing third seats CAUTION When returning seats to their original position: CAUTION When removing or reinstalling the seat, observe the following to prevent personal injury: D Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat and are arranged in their proper position for ready use. D Do not fold or remove the seat while the vehicle is moving. D Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat. D Make sure that the seat is securely locked by pushing forward and rearward on the top of the seatback or by trying to pull up the edge of the bottom cushion. Be certain to replace head restraint. Failure to do so will prevent seat belt from proper operation. D Be careful not to hit the removed seat against a person or drop it on yourself. After folding up the third seat, open the cover, hold the whole seat and pull it up while pulling the handle toward you. Removing the third seat will enlarge the luggage compartment. See "Luggage stowage precautions" in Part 2 for precautions to observe for loading luggage. D After folding or installing the seat, push it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. To prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop: D Do not sit on or place anything on the folded seatback while driving. D Do not leave the removed loose seat in the vehicle.
