Folding the Seatbacks
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.
To fold the seatback down:
1. Unbuckle the rear safety belts
and place the front seatbacks
in the upright position. See
Reclining Seatbacks 0 48.
2. Lift the lever on the top of the
seatback.
3. Fold the seatback forward.
Keep the seatback in the upright,
locked position when not in use.
Raising the Seatbacks
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
Warning
A safety belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.
To raise the seatback:
1. Lift the lever on top of the
seatback. Raise the seatback
and release the lever.
2. Push the seatback rearward
until it locks in the upright
position.
