Fold And Tumble Rear Seat - Two Door Models - Jeep WRANGLER 2023 Owner's Manual

To Fold Down The Rear Seat
There are two release levers located on each upper
outboard side of the rear seat. The larger of the two
release levers folds down the seat and the head
restraint simultaneously. The smaller lever folds down
the head restraint independently for improved visibility.
To fold the seat, lift upward on the large release lever
and slowly fold down the seatback. The head restraint
will fold automatically with the seat when this lever is
pulled.
Seatback Release Lever
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. By simply
unfolding the seats to the open position, the seat cush-
ion will return to its normal shape over time.
To Raise The Rear Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it into place. Then, raise
the head restraint until it locks into place. If interfer-
ence from the cargo area prevents the seatback from
fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat to
its proper 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.

•
Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary to
reposition the front seats.
•
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and
positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat to
fold down easily.

Using The Retention Straps

located on the back of each B-pillar. Open the hook-
and-loop fastener on the strap and thread through
the wire loop. Fold the hook-and-loop fastener over
to keep the seat in the folded position. This should
be done on both sides.
