Rear Seat Stadium Position - Jeep GLADIATOR 2023 Owner's Manual

42 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
Each rear seatback can be locked in an upright position
using the vehicle key. Each seatback must be unlocked to
release for folding.
Locking The Seatback
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 seatback when
it is being folded and raised.
Stow Clip Location
 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. By simply
unfolding the seats to the open position, the seat
cushion will return to its normal shape over time.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into
position. Perform a "push - pull - push" check to confirm
the seat is fully locked. If the seatback is not securely
locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper
stability for child seats and/or passengers. A red
indicator on the pull strap will be displayed if the
seatback is not securely locked. An improperly latched
seat could cause serious injury.
