R
the seat backrests are in an upright

An outboard second-row seat is properly
locked only when lock status indicator 1
is in hinged position and red marking 2 is
barely visible, see “Lock status indicators
(outboard second-row seats)”.
If a seat and seat backrest are not properly
locked, the seat could move forward and
the seat backrest could fold. You could
slide under the seat belt during braking,
vehicle maneuvers, or in an accident. If you
slide under it, the belt would apply force at
the abdomen or neck. That could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
