'05 4Runner_U (L/O 0504) CAUTION When tumbling seats or returning seats to their original positions, observe the following to prevent personal injury: To prevent personal injury in a collision or sudden stop: D Do not sit on or place anything on the folded seatback or tumbled seat while driving. D Do not tumble or return the seat while the vehicle is moving. 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. D Make sure people or luggage are clear of the seat. Then, hold the seat and slowly move it. Otherwise, people may be injured or luggage may be damaged, if the seat hits them. If you cannot raise the seatback because of the locked seat belt, do not try to force it. Release the lock of the seat belt in the following way. 1. Push in the lower front edge of the seatback to slacken the seat belt. 2. Let the seat belt retract a little. 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. D Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat. 53
