  • To lift : Pull the center armrest up to the detents in the direction of the arrow  fig. 70.

  • Fore-and-aft adjustment : slide the center armrest in the direction of the arrow  fig. 70 all the way forwards or rearwards.

WARNING

If the front center armrest is opened all the way or not completely closed, it can limit the driver’s ability to move his or her arms, which can cause accidents and serious injuries.

  • Always keep the storage compartments closed while driving.

  • Never allow an adult or child to ride on the center armrest. This incorrect seating position can cause serious injuries.

  • To fold out : pull the loop in the direction of the arrow  fig. 71.

  • To fold back : fold the center armrest upward in the opposite direction of the arrow  fig. 71 and press it all the way toward the seat backrest.

Passengers must not sit in the center rear seat when the center armrest is folded down.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injuries while driving, the rear center armrest must always be folded up.

  • If the center armrest is folded down, the center rear bench seat must never be used by either adults or children. Doing so would create an incorrect seating position that could result in serious injuries.
