Folding rear seat (wagon)
The rear seat is split into two sections so that each section can be folded independently.
Straighten front seat backrests if they are tilted too far to the rear.
Pull the strap to lift the rear seat cushion and swing the cushion up and toward the back of the front
seats.
The outboard head restraints must be lowered before the backrest is folded down (see inset illustration
above):
1 - pull straight up, 2 - fold forward
Push the center head restraint straight down if it has been raised.
Move the backrest release lever rearward and fold the backrest down.
Check that the hooks under the seat cushions engage the holes on the top edge of the backrest.
When the backrest is raised, the outboard head restraints must be returned to their normal position.
The backrest must lock into place. The red lock indicator will not be visible if the seat has locked into
place correctly.
The seat belts must be correctly positioned when the seat is returned to the normal position.
WARNING! When the rear seat is folded down, do not place heavy objects against the backs of the
front seats. This places a severe strain on the folded down backrest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure
cargo. Cargo must not be stacked higher than the top of seatbacks. This will reduce the possibility of
luggage, etc. becoming projectiles during sudden maneuvers, rapid braking or an accident.
