REAR SEATS
Split-folding Rear Seat WARNING
Before returning the seatback to its
original position, make sure that
cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the
seatback to its original position, pull on the
seatback to make sure that it has fully
latched. An unlatched seat may become
dangerous in the event of a sudden stop
or crash. You can fold one or both rear seatbacks.
Pull the strap located on the outboard side
of the seatback to release it, then fold the
seatback down. Pull up on the seat and
push it back until you hear it latch into
place.

Climate Controlled Seat Air Filter
Replacement
The climate controlled seat system
includes air filters. You must replace them
periodically. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 375).
Locate the filters under each front seat and
access them from the second-row footwell
area. Move the front seats all the way
forward and to the full up positions to ease
access. To remove an air filter:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Push up on the outside rigid edge of
the filter and rotate counterclockwise
once the tabs are released, then
remove the filter. To install a filter: 1. First, position the filter in its housing
making sure that the far forward end
is all the way up in the housing.
2. Push in on the center of the outside edge of the filter and rotate up into the
housing until it clips into position.
REAR SEAT ARMREST
(If Equipped) WARNING
Use only soft cups in the cupholder.
Hard objects can injure you in a crash.
Fold the armrest down to use the armrest
and cupholder. To open the optional
storage compartment, pull up on the latch.
