Warning
If you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. Where Are the Airbags?
0 62. Vehicle Load Limits 0 232.
Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving.
To fold the seatback:
1. Lower the head restraint all the
way. See Head Restraints 0 40
2. Move the seat as far back as
possible. See Seat Adjustment
0 42 or
Power Seat Adjustment 0 42
3. Lift the lever fully and fold the
seatback forward. If necessary,
move the seat belt out of the
way to access the lever.
4. Continue lowering the seatback
until it is completely folded and
locks in place.
