Be careful when using the seat warmer:
The heat from the seat warmer may be too hot for some people, as indicated below, and could cause a low-temperature burn.
Infants, small babies, elderly people, and physically challenged people
People with delicate skin
People who are excessively fatigued
People who are intoxicated
People who have taken sleep-inducing medicine such as sleeping pills or cold medicine
Do not use the seat warmer with anything having high moisture-retention ability such as a blanket or cushion on the seat:
The seat may be heated excessively and cause a low-temperature burn.
Do not use the seat warmer even when taking a short nap in the vehicle:
The seat may be heated excessively and cause a low-temperature burn.
Do not place heavy objects with sharp projections on the seat, or insert needles or pins into it:
This could cause the seat to become excessively heated and result in injury from a minor burn.
Before folding a rear seatback, make sure that the rear seat warmer switch is off. If a rear seatback is folded while the rear seat warmer is in operation, it may heat the seat excessively and damage the seat surface.
Do not use organic solvents to clean the seat. It may damage the seat surface and the heater.
Use the seat warmer when the engine is running. Leaving the seat warmer on for long periods with the engine not running could cause the battery power to be depleted.

By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage compartment space can be expanded.
Do not drive the vehicle with occupants on folded down seatbacks or in the luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during sudden braking or a collision
Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatbacks lowered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatbacks folded down is dangerous, If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatbacks were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage compartment which could lead to an accident.
Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is transported with the seatbacks folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could move and become an obstruction to driving during emergency braking or a collision resulting in an unexpected accident.
When transporting cargo, do not allow the cargo to exceed the height of the seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous as visibility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere with driving operations and lead to an accident.
After installing a rear-facing baby seat or child restraint system, do not operate the remote handle on the back of the seat (Wagon).
Operating the remote handle on a seat with a rear-facing baby seat or child restraint installed on it is dangerous because the seatback will fold down suddenly which could lead to an accident. Remove the baby seat or child restraint before operating the remote handle.
When operating the remote handle, be careful to check that occupants are not seated on the rear seat or items are not left on the armrest (Wagon).
Operating a remote handle without checking occupants or items is dangerous because the seatback folds down suddenly which could cause an accident.
(Wagon)
When folding the seatback forward, always support the seatback with your hand. If it is not supported by a hand, fingers or the hand pressing the push knob could be injured.
(Wagon)
When operating the remote handle, always heed the following precautions.
The speed at which the seatback folds down while the vehicle is on a down slope increases.
The seatback may not fold down while the vehicle is on an up slope. If the seatback does not fold down when using the remote handle, fold it down using your hand.
Lowering the seatbacks
Check the position of a front seat before folding a rear seatback. Depending on the position of a front seat, it may not be possible to fold a rear seatback all the way down because it may hit the seatback of the front seat which could scratch or damage the front seat or its pocket. Lower or remove the head restraint on the rear outboard seat if necessary.
(Saloon)
(With seat warmer)
Turn the rear seat warmer switch off.
Refer to Seat Warmer (Search).
Open the boot lid and pull the lever for the seatback you want to fold down.

Secure the rear seat belt in the belt clip.
Using remote handle
Open the liftgate and lower the seatback you want to fold down using the remote handle.
Using push knob
Press the push knob to fold down the seatback.
To return the seatback to its upright position:
When returning a seatback to its upright position, make sure the 3-point seat belt is not caught in the seatback.
If the seat belt is used while it is caught in the seatback, the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity, which could cause serious injury or death.
When returning a seatback to its upright position, make sure that it is firmly locked and the red indication is not visible (Wagon).
If the red indication is visible behind the push knob, it means the seatback is not locked. If the vehicle is driven without the seatback locked, it could fold down suddenly and cause an accident.
Insert the 3-point seat belt into the belt clip.
Press the seatback rearward and lock it in place. After returning the seatback to its upright position, make sure it is securely locked.
The rear armrest in the centre of the rear seatback can be used (no occupant in the centre seat) or placed upright.
Never put your hands and fingers around the moving parts of the seat and armrest:
Putting your hands and fingers around the moving parts of the seat and armrest is dangerous as they could get injured.
