Rear Seats

Folding the Seatback

On some vehicles, either side of the seatback can be folded for more cargo space. Fold a seatback only when the vehicle is not moving.

{Caution

Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.

To fold the seatback:

1.Pull the lever on top of the seatback to unlock it.

A red tab near the seatback lever raises when the seatback is unlocked.

2.Fold the seatback forward.

Repeat the steps to fold the other seatback, if desired.

Raising the Seatback

{Warning

If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

{Warning

A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.
