Folding the rear seat
The right and left seat bottoms can be
folded independently to increase the
luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING
Be careful when carrying a stack of
objects in the second row. If the objects
extend higher than the top of the front
seatbacks, they could inadvertently
slide forward when decelerating and
possibly cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

1. Pull the strap to unlock the seat.
2. Carefully lower the seat bottom to
the normal seating position. The seat
bottom will remain in place under its
own weight.
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.
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.
