'07 Corolla_U (L/O 0608) Fold−down rear seat CAUTION Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury. FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT 1. To unlock the seatback, pull the lever in the trunk. 2. Fold down the seatback. Each seatback can be folded separately. This will enlarge the trunk as far as the seatbacks. See "-Stowage precautions" on page 194 in Section 2 for precautions when loading luggage. NOTICE Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt when the right seatback is folded down. 37 2007MY COROLLA from Oct. '06 Prod.
