Never support yourself on or hold onto a seat in the second row that is folded forward when entering and exiting.

If child restraints are installed in all of the second row seats, it may not be possible for someone in the third row to fold the second row seats forward in the event of an accident. Passengers sitting in the third row seats will not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or help themselves in an emergency.
-
Never install child restraints on all seats in the second row if any passengers will be riding in the third row.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrests forward or back, adjust the front seats so that the head restraints or cushions on the rear seat backrests do not bump against the front seats.
