more cargo space.
Folding the Seatbacks
The seatbacks (SUV only) are equipped with rearward

fold rearward.
To fold the rear seat, do the following:
1. Make sure that nothing is under or in front of
the seat.
2. Pull up on the strap
loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion
and pull the seat
cushion up and fold
it forward.
3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it
is at.
If the seatback cannot fold at because it interferes
with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward
and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.
4. Repeat the steps for the other half of the 60/40 split
bench seat.
