REAR SEATS
60/40 Split Rear Seat
To Lower Rear Seat
Either side of the rear seat can be lowered to allow for extended cargo space and still
maintain some rear seating room.

Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allow
the rear seatback to fold down easily.
1. Pull upward on the release lever to release the seat.
NOTE:
• Do not fold the 60% rear seat downwith the left outboard or rear center
seat belt buckled.
• Do not fold the 40% rear seat down with the right outboard seat belt
buckled.
2. Fold the rear seat completely forward.
NOTE:
You may experience deformation in the
seat cushion from the seat belt buckles if
the seats are left folded for an extended
period of time. This is normal and by
simply opening the seats to the open
position, over time the seat cushion will return to its normal shape.
To Raise Rear Seat
Raise the rear seatback and lock it into place. If interference from the cargo area
prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat to
its proper position.
