Passenger Folding Seatback
Your vehicle has a front passenger seat that
folds at.
{CAUTION:
If you fold the seatback forward to carry
longer objects, such as skis, be sure any
such cargo is not near an airbag. In a
crash, an inating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This could cause
severe injury or even death. Secure objects
away from the area in which an airbag
would inate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on page 74and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 269.
{CAUTION:
Things you put on this seatback can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash. Remove or secure
all items before driving.
To fold the seatback, do the following:
1. Move the front passenger seat rearward to
ensure there is enough room to fold the
seatback forward. SeeManual Seats on
page 8for more information. The head
restraint may need to be removed if the seat
is not able to be moved fully rearward. If
removing the head restraint, store it so that it
will not move while the vehicle is in motion.
2. Make sure that the seatback is in an upright
position. Use the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat to move the
seatback to the upright position.
14

3. Use one of two levers to fold the seat at.
The levers are located on the rear of the
seat near the bottom of either side of the seat.
Pull up on either lever and fold the seat
forward until the seatback disengages. This
can most easily be down from the rear seats.4. Continue to fold the seat forward until it locks
in the folded position. Pull up on the seatback
to be sure it is locked.
15

Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
The seatbacks can be folded at so that they are
at the same level as the rear cargo area. This
allows more cargo space.
To lower the rear seatback(s), do the following:
1. Move the front seat forward and/or put
the front seatback in an upright position so it
does not interfere with folding the rear
seatback forward.
2. Open the rear door while the vehicle is
parked.
3. The rear head restraint may need to be
removed to ensure that it does not interfere
with the front seat when the front seat is
moved back in place. If removed, store the
head restraint where it cannot move while the
vehicle is in motion.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause damage to the
seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle
the safety belts and return them to their normal
stowed position before folding a rear seat.4. Move the safety belt out of the way before
lowering the seatback. Do not let the safety
belt get caught between the seatback and seat
cushion as the seatback is folded.

The top tether anchors are located in a storage
compartment behind the rear seats. Lift the
lid of the storage compartment to access the
anchors. You may have to fold back the cargo mat
to access the storage compartment and the top
tether anchors. Be sure to use an anchor located
on the same side of the vehicle as the seating
position where the child restraint will be placed.If the vehicle does not have rear seats, there will
be an exposed top tether anchor for the front
passenger position located on the oor behind the
front passenger’s seat.

2. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends
that the top tether be attached, attach and
tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor,
if equipped. Refer to the child restraint
instructions and the following steps:
2.1. For vehicles with rear seats, nd the
storage compartments behind the rear
seats. You may have to fold back
the cargo mat to access the storage
compartment and top tether anchors.
2.2. Lift the lid of the storage compartments
to access the top tether anchors.
2.3. For vehicles without rear seats, nd the
top tether anchor.
2.4. If the position you are using has an
adjustable head restraint, raise it.
2.5. Route, attach, and tighten the top tether
according to your child restraint
instructions and the following
instructions:If the position you are
using does not have a
head restraint and
you are using a single
tether, route the
tether over the
seatback.
If the position you are
using does not have a
head restraint and
you are using a dual
tether, route the
tether over the
seatback.

Parking Brake
The parking brake lever is located between the
front seats.
{CAUTION:
If the front passenger seat back is folded
down, the armrest may make it awkward
to grab and pull up the parking brake
lever. If the lever is not pulled up far
enough, your vehicle may roll and you or
others could be injured. Move your hand
lower on the lever or raise the seat back
so that you can set the brake.
To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal
down and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the
ignition is on, the brake system warning light will
come on. SeeBrake System Warning Light
on page 185.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything
else — they will go as fast as the vehicle goes.
If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.
Towing
Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle
towed. SeeRoadside Assistance Program on
page 418.
If you want to tow your vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes (such as behind
a motorhome), see “Recreational Vehicle
Towing” following.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing your
vehicle behind another vehicle — such as behind a
motorhome. The two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are known as “dinghy
towing” (towing your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground) and “dolly towing” (towing
your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known as a “dolly”).
