Split Bench Seats (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has the split bench seat, the seatbacks
can be folded forward or reclined individually and the
sections can be flipped forward or removed individually.
Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat can
be reclined or folded forward.
It is easier to raise or lower the seatback if you lean
forward and take the weight off the seatback.
The seatbacks on each section also fold forward to put
items behind the seats.

lift up on the recliner lever
located on the outboard
side of the seatback.
Use the recliner lever to
move the seatback to the
desired position.
Lift up on the recliner lever and fold the seatback
forward. The seatback will lock into place when you
push it back to the upright position.
After raising a seatback to an upright position, push and
pull on the seatback to check that it is locked upright.
