2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE fold seats

Head Restraints — Rear Seats
The head restraints on the outboard seats are not adjustable. They automatically fold
forward when the rear seat is folded to a load floor position but do not return to their
normal position when the rear seat is raised. After returning either seat to its upright
position, raise the head restraint until it locks in place. The outboard head restraints
are not removable.
The center head restraint has limited adjustment. Lift upward on the head restraint
to raise it, or push downward on the head restraint to lower it.
WARNING!
Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in its lowered position could result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Always make sure the outboard head
restraints are in their upright positions when the seat is to be occupied.
NOTE:
For proper routing of a Child Seat Tether, refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while drivingcould result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicle
is parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Manual Front Passenger Seatback Adjustment — Recline

back to the desired position and release the lever. To return the seatback, lift the
lever, lean forward and release the lever.

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat
To fold the seatback to the flat load-floor position, lift the recline lever and push the
seatback forward. To return to the seating position, raise the seatback and lock it into
place.

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.
NOTE:
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.

WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback isnot securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause
serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the
locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a
collision. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.
Reclining Rear Seat
To recline the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean
back and release the lever at the desired position. To return the seatback, lift the
lever, lean forward and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
