Seatback angle (2nd row seat)
To recline the seatback:
1.
 Pull up the seatback r
ecline lever.
2.
 Hold the le
ver and adjust the seatback 
of the seat to the position you desire.
3.
 Release the le

Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to 
facilitate carrying long items or to 
increase the luggage capacity of the 
vehicle.
 WARNING
•	 Never allow passengers to sit on top 
of the folded down seatback while 
the vehicle is moving. This is not a 
proper seating position and no seat 
belts are available for use. This could 
result in serious injury or death in 
case of an accident or sudden stop.
•	 Objects carried on the folded 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. To fold down the rear seatback:
1.
 Set the fr
ont seatback to the upright 
position and if necessary, slide the 
front seat forward.
2.
 Lo
 wer the rear head restraints to the 
lowest position.

the belts from being trapped behind 
or under the seats.

5. To use the rear seat, lift and pull the 
sea tback backward by pulling the 
folding lever or the strap. Pull the 
seatback firmly until it clicks into 
place. Make sure the seatback is 
locked in place.
6.

position.
 WARNING
When returning the rear seatback from 
a folded to an upright position, hold the 
seatback and return it slowly. Ensure 
that the seatback is completely locked 
into its upright position by pushing on 
the top of the seatback. In an accident 
or sudden stop, the unlocked seatback 
could allow cargo to move forward with 
great force and enter the passenger 
compartment, which could result in 
serious injury or death.
 WARNING
Do not place objects in the rear seats, 
since they cannot be properly secured 
and may hit vehicle occupants in a 
collision causing serious injury or death.

 WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the shift 
lever is in P (Park), and the parking 
brake is securely applied whenever 
loading or unloading cargo. Failure to 
take these steps may allow the vehicle 
to move if the shift lever is inadvertently 
moved to another position.
 CAUTION
•	Be careful when loading cargo 
through the rear passenger seats 
to prevent damage to the vehicle 
interior.
•	 When cargo is loaded through the 
rear passenger seats, ensure the 
cargo is properly secured to prevent 
it from moving while driving.
 WARNING
Cargo should always be secured to 
prevent it from being thrown about the 
vehicle in a collision and causing injury 
to the vehicle occupants. Do not place 
objects in the rear seats, since they 
cannot be properly secured and may hit 
the front seat occupants in a collision.
