Rear Seat (Crew Cab)
The second row rear seat has a 60/40 split seat. Either
side of the rear seat may be folded down to give you
more cargo space.
Before folding the rear seat on the driver's side, insert
the two buckles into the retainer in the seatback. That
way, the buckles will be out of the way when the seat is
folded and will be available for passengers to use when
the seat is returned to the passenger position. Also, make
sure that nothing is under or in front of the seat and that
the head restraints are completely lowered.
