Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure
that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback.
After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the
seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may
become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
Using the manual lumbar support (if equipped)
The lumbar support control is
located on the outboard side of the
seatback.
Move the control up or down to
adjust lumbar support.
Folding down the front passenger seatback
The front passenger seatback can be
folded to a horizontal position to
make room for a long load. To fold
the seatback:
1. Move the seat as far back as
possible.
2. Push the head restraint release
button and move the head restraint
fully down.
3. Pull the strap located on the back
of the seat to fold the front passenger seatback.
4. Without releasing the pull strap, push the seatback forward.
5. Move the seat as far forward as possible.
Cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to
occupants. Secure the load to help prevent shifting during
sudden stops.
