Rear Fixed Seat Release Lever
NOTE:
Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be
necessary to position the front seat to its
mid-track position. Also, be sure that the
front seats are fully upright and positioned
forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold
down easily.

WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
To Lower The Rear Seat
1. Lift the seatback release lever located on
the upper outer edge of the seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with a sliding rear
seat, you can also pull the pull strap
located on the middle outer edge of the
seat.
2. Fold the rear seatback
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 placing
the seats to the open position, over time the
seat cushion will return to its normal shape.
To Raise The Rear Seat
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents
the seatback from fully locking, you will have
difficulty returning the seat to its proper
position.
Raise the seatback and lock it into place.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will
completely
not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
