CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.
Easy Entry Manual Seat
The right front passenger seat is designed to make it
easy to get into and out of the rear seat.
1. Lift the latch on the back of the right front seat and
tilt the seatback forward. The seat will slide or can
be pushed forward to allow someone to get into or
out of the rear seat area.
2. Return the seatback upright to lock it. Slide the seat
fully rearward to lock it into its original position.
3. The front passenger must try to slide the entire
seat back and forth to make sure the seat is locked
into place.
CAUTION:
If an easy entry right front seat isn't locked,
it can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the
person sitting there could be injured. After
you've used it, be sure to slide the easy entry
seat back and forth to be sure it is locked.
