back. The head restraint will fold automati-
cally with the seat when this lever is pulled.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. By simply opening the
seats to the open position, the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape over time.Seatback Release Lever
