The seat-back can be released from
inside the car or inside the trunk.
To fold down the seat-back from
inside the car, insert the master key
in the lock on the rear shelf. Turn
the key clockwise, pull down the top
of the seat-back, then release the
key.
To release the seat-back from inside
the trunk, pull the release under the
rear shelf.
To lock the seat-back upright, push it
firmly against the rear shelf. Make
sure it is latched in place by pulling
on the top of the seat.

Folding Rear Seat

Make sure both rear shoulder belts
are positioned in front of the rear
seat-back whenever the seat-back is
in its upright position.
Make sure all items in the trunk, or
items extending through the opening
into the back seat, are tied down.
Loose items can fly forward and
cause injury if you have to brake
hard. See Loading Cargo on page
128.
Never drive with the seat-back
folded down and the trunk lid open.
