Folding down the rear seat backrests
ProCarManuals.com

The three sections of the rear seat backrest can be folded down in different combinations to make it easier to transport
long objects.
The left (driver's side) section can be folded down separately.
The center section can be folded down separately.
The right (passenger's side) section can be folded down together with the center section.
All three sections can be folded down together.
Release and lower the center head restraint (see page 86) if the center and/or right section of the backrest is to be
lowered. The outboard head restraints fold down automatically.
Pull up the backrest release control on the respective section(s) and fold the section(s) down.
NOTE
It may be necessary to move the front seats forward or put their backrests in a more upright position before folding
down the rear seat backrests.
WARNING
When the backrest(s) are returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. The red
indicators should not be visible.
Return the outboard 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 Park ( P) position to help prevent inadvertent movement of the gear selector.
On hot days, the temperature in the 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.
