Both rear seat backrests can be folded down, together or individually to enable you to transport long objects.
Fold the rear seat backrests as follows:
1. Check first that the head restraint is folded down.
2. Pull the handle in the cargo compartment as shown in the illustration.

WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high
temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at
risk.
WARNING
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the P position (automatic transmission) to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear
selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk, and
also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the
trunk.
