Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide an
additional storage area. Pull on the loops shown in the
illustration to fold down either or both seatbacks. These
loops can be tucked away when not in use.When the seat back is folded to the upright position make
sure it is latched by strongly pulling on the top of the seat
back above the seat strap.
WARNING!
The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the
rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down
position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could
be seriously injured in an accident. Children should
be seated and using the proper restraint system.

Cargo Management System — If Equipped
The cargo area has an upper and lower load floor.
Additional innovative features in the cargo area are the
two molded-in bins in the quarter trim panels. Each bin
that hold a gallon of milk and a 2-liter bottle of pop.
A cargo management system that stores on the lower
load floor below the bi-level cargo floor is optional. It
includes the following equipment:
•Waterproof cargo floor liner.
•Folding cargo management container with net separa-
tors.
The bi-level cargo floor includes a removable, tri-fold
load-bearing upper level. Two folds in the panel allow it
to be partially or fully folded for storage flexibility.
Shallow items can be stored underneath the upper load
floor.The lower load floor is hinged to provide access to the
spare tire, battery and rear electrical power distribution
center.
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides cargo-carrying
versatility. The seatbacks fold down easily by pulling
nylon tabs between the seatbacks and the bolsters. When
the seats are folded down, they provide a continuous,
nearly flat extension of the removable tri-fold load floor.
Tri-Fold Upper Load Floor
The removable, tri-fold upper load floor has two sur-
faces, one side is carpeted for a plush appearance and the
other is vinyl for easy cleaning. Folding and/or removing
the load floor adds four inches to the height of the cargo
area for increased utility. It is constructed of a lightweight
material that is sandwiched between the carpeted and
washable-vinyl sides, the panel consists of a strong inner
structure to give it load-bearing strength.

moved when large items are stowed with the rear seat
folded downTo install the tonneau cover first insert either of the
spring-loaded outer posts followed by the opposite end
