or inside the trunk.
To fold down the seat-back from
inside the car, insert the master
key in the lock on the rear shelf.
Turn the key clockwise and pull
down the top of the seat-back. To release the seat-back from
inside the trunk, pull the release
loop under the rear shelf.
To lock the seat-back upright, push if firmly against the rear shelf.
Make sure it is latched in place by
pulling on the top of the seat. Make sure all items in the trunk, or

Never driv e
