Rear Seats - Chevrolet Malibu 2015 Owner's Manual

Rear Seats

Folding the Seatback
Either side of the seatback can be
folded down for more cargo space.
Fold a seatback only when the
vehicle is not moving.
Caution
Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.
To fold the seatback down:
1. Lower the rear seat head
restraints completely. See Head
Restraints on page 3-2.
2. Lift the rear seat armrest and
place it in the folded position,
if necessary. See Rear Seat
Armrest on page 3-10.
3. Make sure the outboard safety
belt is in the belt guide.

the seatback to unlock it.

raises when the seatback is
unlocked.

Raising the Seatback
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
