7-seat vehicles
You can use the seat backrest of the second-
row middle seat as an armrest for the
outboard seats.
The folded second-row middle seat is
intended to serve as an armrest only. Do
not fold the second-row middle seat and
allow occupants to use the folded second-
row middle seat as a footrest while driving.
All vehicle occupants must keep both feet
on the floor in front of their seat. Otherwise,
occupants could slide under the seat belt
in a collision. If occupants slide under it, the
belt would apply force at the abdomen or
neck. That could cause serious or even fatal
injuries.
