Seating and Safety Restraints WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle when the third row seat is rotated backwards. During a sudden stop, the safety belts are not functional in this position and the third row seat can rapidly tip back to the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury. Folding the head restraints manually The head restraints can also be folded manually without folding/stowing the seat. • Fold: Pull the head restraint release strap to fold the head restraints forward. • Unfold: Pull the head restraints back to the upright position. WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash, passenger occupants should not sit in the vehicle until the head restraint is placed in its proper position. Closing the liftgate WARNING: To avoid injury to third row occupants when closing the liftgate, ensure that the head of any occupant is not in the path of the closing liftgate. 187 2012 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
