vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts
²Be sure that everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
NOTE:
²If the rear center lap/shoulder belt appears to be
locked into place, check to verify that the seatback is
fully latched.

Tumbling Rear Seat
To provide additional storage in the cargo area, each rear
seat can be tumbled forward.
CAUTION!
It is important that the front seats be pulled forward
to the midpoint of the seat track to avoid contact
between the rear seat and the front seatback. If the
front seat is not pulled forward the two seats will
make contact during the tumbling motion and cause
damage to the rear seat material. After the rear seat is
tumbled forward and secured the front seat can then
be repositioned to the preferred position.
²Push and hold the button on the seatback and fold
down the rear seatback.
