Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback
1. Set the front seatback to theupright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position as above the pic-
ture.
WARNING - Folded
Seatback
The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects than could
not otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow a passenger to sit on top of the folded down
seatback while the car is mov-
ing. This is not a proper seat-
ing position since no seat
belts are available for use.
To reduce the risk of injury caused by sliding cargo within
the passenger compartment
of the vehicle, objects carried
on the folded down seatback
should not extend higher than
the top of the front seats.
CAUTION
-

duct

WARNING - Objects

down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of
the front seatbacks. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not

seat occupants in a collision.WARNING - Rear
