Seating and Safety Restraints
Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure
that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback.
After returning the seatback to its original position, reinstall the head
restraints, and pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched.
An unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden
stop or collision.
Remove the head restraint
stored under the front set
and return it to the original
position on the seatback. Failure
to do so could result in personal
injury.
3. Unsnap the safety belt webbing from the quarter trim panel.
To remove the rear cushion
1. Lift the yellow tab to release the
hinges.
2. Pull the cushion to the outboard
side of the vehicle.
