Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation (Extended Cab)
If your vehicle has
an extended cab,
there may be forward
folding seats in the
rear area.
To fold the rear seat cushion(s) from the stored
position to the sitting position, pull the front of
the seat cushion down completely.
The rear seat storage compartments must be
closed before folding the seat down. See
Rear Storage Area on page 154.To store the seat, do the following:
Notice: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.
1. Secure the safety belt buckle to the inboard side
of the seat with the hook and loop fastener (A),
so that it does not move when not in use.
2. Push the entire seat up until it is ush with the
trim panel.

Rear Seat Operation (Crew Cab)
The rear seatback(s) in the crew cab can be
folded forward.
Notice: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 rear seatback(s) forward, do the
following:
1. Disconnect the rear center safety belt latch
from the mini buckle by inserting the tip of
the safety belt tongue into the slot on
the buckle. Let the belt retract.

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle.
The belt should go back out of the way. When
the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch plate up
the safety belt webbing. The latch plate should
rest on the stitching on the safety belt, near
the guide loop on the side wall.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is
out of the way. If you slam the door on it, you
can damage both the belt and your vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
height adjuster to the height that is right for you.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the
belt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Improper shoulder belt height
adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
To move it up or down,
squeeze the release
buttons (A) together,
or pull them toward
you, and move
the height adjuster to
the desired position.
After you move the height adjuster to where you
want it, try to move it down without squeezing the
release buttons to make sure it has locked into
position.

{CAUTION:
Never do this.
Here two children are wearing the same
belt. The belt cannot properly spread the
impact forces. In a crash, the two children
can be crushed together and seriously
injured. A belt must be used by only
one person at a time.
Q:What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder
belt, but the child is so small that the
shoulder belt is very close to the child’s
face or neck?
A:If the child is sitting in a seat next to a
window, move the child toward the center
of the vehicle. Also seeRear Safety Belt
Comfort Guides on page 40. If the child is
sitting in the center rear seat passenger
position, move the child toward the safety
belt buckle. In either case, be sure that
the shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder,
so that in a crash the child’s upper body
would have the restraint that belts provide.
