itate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Insert the rear seat belt buckle in thepocket (if equipped) between the rear
seatback and cushion. 2. Make sure the rear seat belt webbing
is in the guide to prevent the seat belt
from being damaged.
3. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
4. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects that could not be
accommodated in the cargo area.
Never allow passengers sit on top
of the folded down seatback while
the vehicle is moving. This is not a
proper seating position and no seat
belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seatbacks. Doing this could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.
