fold seats DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2007 User Guide

NOTE:
Driving with the 2nd-row seats in the tumbled position is
not recommended when passengers occupy the 3rd row
seats. This position is intended only to increase available
cargo area without requiring removal of the seats.
Do not leave the head restraint stored between the
cushions for extended periods of time or inadvertent
damage to the seat cover or head restraint may occur.
3. Additional Storage—
The 2nd row seats are installed in the middle seating
position. Either or both of the rear seats are removed
from the vehicle. 4. Auxiliary Seating—
The 2nd row seats are removed from the vehicle. Then
the third row seats can be installed in either the rear or
middle seat position.
If the seat is not occupied, the seatback can be folded
forward to obtain additional cargo space. To fold the
seatback forward, pull the handle labeled “1” located
behind the seat on the passenger side.
The seatback will latch in the folded position. To assure
the seatback is latched in the folded position, additional
downward pressure on the seatback may be required
when folding.
The same lever is used to return the seatback to the
upright position.
NOTE: The head restraints are removable, if needed. To
remove them, press the release tab on the right side of the
base of the head restraint.148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

vided in the net kit.

and third row seating positions. The coat hook load limit
is 10 lbs (4.5 kg). Exceeding the recommended load limit

without moving the seats.

of building material may be stored in the long-wheelbase
body style on top of the folded seats with the liftgate
closed. The front seats must be moved slightly forward of
the rearmost position. If the rear seats are removed no
front seat adjustment is needed and more than on e4x8
sheet of building material may be stored.

“Load To This Line”. This line indicates how far rearward
cargo can be placed without interfering with liftgate
