Using the Folding Rear Seat (If equipped)
[FV16800(ALL)05/94]
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
full-folding or split-folding rear seat. In either
case, you can fold down the seatback (or
seatbacks) to provide extra cargo space. If you
have the rear safety belts routed through the
rear safety belt guides on either side of the seats,
the safety belts will not be trapped when the
seats are returned to their upright positions.
*
[FV16900(ALL)01/92]
To fold down the rear seatback:
[FV17000(ALL)07/93]
1. Pull up on the release knob(s) located in the
upper corner(s) of the seatback. The
split-folding rear seat has one knob for each
seatback. The full-folding rear seat has two
knobs, which must both be raised at the
same time to lower the entire seatback.
[FV17100(ALL)03/94]
2. Pull the seatback forward until it is flat.

[FV17700(ALL)05/94]
If your vehicle is equipped with the fold-up rear
seat cushion, the rear seat cushion can also be
raised after you fold down the seatback(s) to
provide even more cargo space. After you pull
up the release knobs and fold the seatback(s)
forward, lift up the entire seat and push it
forward. When you return the seat cushion to its
unfolded position, reposition the rear safety belts
so that they can be used by rear seat passengers.
