38 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright

and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.
The center head restraints must be in the

lowest position to avoid contact with the
center console when folding the seat.
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.
Folding The Rear Seats
To fold down the rear seat, pull the release strap
located on the upper outboard side of the rear
seat to release the seat. The head restraints are
folded independently Ú page 40.
NOTE:
Each rear seatback can be locked in an upright
position using the vehicle key. Each seatback
must be unlocked to release for folding.

Rear Seat Folded Flat
To raise the seatback to the proper position,
manually lift the seatback until it locks into
place. To return the head restraint to the proper
position, manually lift up until it locks into place.
If interference from the cargo area behind the
seat prevents the seatback from fully locking,
you will have difficulty returning the seats to
their proper position.
NOTE:
The vehicle is equipped with stow clips

located on the lower trim, next to the rear
seats. Use these clips to hold the seat belt
out of the path of the seat back when it is
being folded and raised.
