REAR SEATS

60/40 Split Rear Seat
To Lower Rear Seat
Either side of the rear seat can be lowered to allow for extended cargo space and still
maintain some rear seating room.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allow
the rear seatback to fold down easily.
1. Pull upward on the release lever to release the seat.
NOTE:
• Do not fold the 60% rear seat down
with the left outboard or rear center
seat belt buckled.
• Do not fold the 40% rear seat down
with the right outboard seat belt
buckled.
2. Fold the rear seat completely forward.
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 and by
simply opening the seats to the open
position, over time the seat cushion will return to its normal shape.
To Raise Rear Seat
Raise the rear seatback and lock it into place. If interference from the cargo area
prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat to
its proper position.
• 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.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up
or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the
vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a collision. Children
should be seated and using the proper restraint system.
