CAUTION
Before folding the seatbacks with the
remote handle levers, make sure there is
no cup in a rear cup holder. Folding the
seatbacks with the remote handle levers
while a cup is in the cup holder could
soil or damage the seat bottom and
seatback.
CAUTION
Be careful of the following when using
the remote handle levers:
On a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a
flat area.
On an upward slope, the seatback
may not fold down. When the
seatbacks cannot be folded down
with levers, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.
1. Unfasten the lap portion of the center-
rear seat belt (page 2-23).
CAUTION
Always unfasten the lap portion of the
belt before folding left-rear seatback.
Leaving the lap portion of the belt
fastened could cause damage to the seat
belt, buckle and seatback.

2. After checking that the rear seats are
clear, open the trunk and pull the
remote handle levers on the left and
right side of the trunk.
To return the seatbacks to the upright
position
1. Lift the seatbacks upright.
2. Pull on the top of the seatbacks from
inside the vehicle to make sure they are
locked.
3. Fasten the center-rear lap/shoulder belt
and check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use (page 2-23).
WARNING
Always make sure the seat belts are
fully pulled out from under the
seatbacks:
A seat belt caught under a seatback
after the seatback is returned to its
upright position is dangerous. In a
collision or sudden stop, the seat belt
cannot provide adequate protection.
