• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.

to do so will result in the head restraint
coming in contact with the center console.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

of seat), and lift it upward until the seatback
releases.
Slowly fold down the seatback.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.
To Raise The Rear Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it into place, and
install center head restraint. If interference
from the cargo area prevents the seatback
from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.
NOTE:
If the rear seatback is not fully latched, the
center shoulder belt will not be able to be
extended for use. If you cannot extend the
center shoulder belt, make sure your seat-
back is fully latched.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will
