'04 4Runner_U (L/O 0308) -Removing third seats CAUTION When folding up seats or returning seats to their original positions, observe the following to prevent personal injury: D Do not fold up or return the seat while the vehicle is moving. D Be careful not to hit the seat against a person or drop it on yourself. When returning the third seat to its original position, stow the holding strap in the holder in the direction shown above. Then do the above procedures in the reverse order. To prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop: BEFORE REMOVING THIRD SEATS 1. Stow the third seat belt buckles as shown in the illustration. This prevents the buckles from falling out when you remove the third seats. D Do not sit on or place anything on the folded seatback while driving. D Make sure 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. Failure to do so will prevent the seat belt from operating properly. NOTICE The seat belt buckles must be stowed before you remove the third seats. D Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat and are arranged in their proper position and are ready to use. 54 2004 4RUNNER from Aug. '03 Prod. (OM35811U)
