Folding Rear Seat; Reclining Rear Seat - If Equipped; Head Restraints - Jeep Compass Operating Information Manual

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, exhaustion or other physical condi-
tion must exercise care when using the
seat heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seat-
back that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

Folding Rear Seat

To provide additional storage area, each rear
seatback can be folded forward. Pull the strap
forward to fold the rear seatback flat.

Folded Rear Seat
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 and by simply open-
ing the seats to the open position, over time
the seat cushion will return to its normal
shape.
To raise the seatback, pull the strap forward and
lift the seatback into its upright position.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperly latched
seat could cause serious injury.
Reclining Rear Seat — If Equipped
For additional comfort, pull the strap forward just
enough to release the seatback latch. Then,
push the seatback to a reclined position, ap-
proximately 35 degrees maximum, and release
the strap.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision, you could slide
under the seat belt and be seriously or even
fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the
vehicle is parked.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should
