WARNING!
Do not allow a passenger to sit in a third
row seat without having the head re-
straint unfolded and locked in place. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury
to the passenger in the event of a collision.
60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER
SEATS
To provide additional storage area, each second-row
passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating
room if needed.
NOTE: Prior to folding the second-row passenger
seat, make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to fold
easily.
WARNING!
 It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
 On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat . In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
To Fold The Seat
1. Locate the control lever on the lower outboard side of the seat. (fig. 28)
2. Place one hand on the seatback and apply a gentle pressure.
3. Lift the control lever with the other hand, allow the seatback to move forward slightly, and then release
the lever.

4. Gently guide the seatback into the folded position. To Unfold The Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it in place.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is locked

seat could cause serious injury.
Forward And Rearward Adjustment
The control lever is on the outboard side of the seat.
Lift the lever to move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the lever once the seat is in the desired
position. Then, using body pressure, move forward and
rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters
have latched. (fig. 29)
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing is dangerous. The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control. The
seat belt might not be adjusted properly and you
could be injured. Adjust any seat only while the
vehicle is parked.
