To raise the seatback:
1. Lift the seatback rearward until it is in the
upright position. Push the center of the seat
until you hear it latch.
2. Make sure the seatback is locked in position
by pushing forward and backward on it.
Securely latch the seatback in the upright
position to prevent the seatback or objects
from being thrown forward during a
sudden stop or collision.
The Third Seat
The third seat faces the back of the wagon. For
height and weight limits, see the label on the
seat cushion. When the seat is down, the back
part of your wagon has a flat surface for
carrying cargo.
To open up the seat:
1. Unlock the floor panel with the key.
2. Use the handle to fold the floor panel
toward the front of the car.
