Split Folding Rear Seat
You can fold either side of the seatback (or both sides)
down in your vehicle for more cargo space. Make sure
the front seat isn't reclined. If it is, the rear seatback
may not fold down all the way.

There is a tab located
on the outboard sides
of the seatbacks.
To lower either of the rear seatbacks, follow these steps:
1. Pull forward on the seat tab to unlock the seatback.
2. Fold the seatback down. This will allow you direct
access to the trunk.
To raise either of the rear seatbacks, lift the seatback up
and push it back into place. Make sure it latches. Push
and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked into
position. When the seat is not in use, it should be kept in
the upright locked position.
If you plan to load items into the trunk through the split
folding rear seat, you must first turn off the trunk release
sensor. See "Trunk Release Sensor" in the Index for
more information.
