IMPORTANT After folding the rear
seatback forward, do not allow any for-
eign material to enter the lock opening.
This may cause damage to the inside of
the lock and prevent the seatback from
being locked securely.

Pull the lock release strap (1) rearward
to unlatch the seat cushion.
FOLDING REAR SEATS
The rear seats of your vehicle can be fold-
ed forward to provide additional cargo
space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
Hook the webbing of the outboard lap-
shoulder belts in the belt hangers.
IMPORTANT When you move a seat-
back, make sure the belt webbing is
hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat
belts are not caught by the seatback, seat
hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent
damage to the belt system.
Make sure the belt webbing is not twist-
ed.
Stow the seat belt buckles of the cen-
ter and right seating position as shown
in the illustration.
IMPORTANT When you fold the rear
seatback forward, stow the seat belt buck-
les of the center and right seating position
into the seat first. This helps prevent be-
ing caught by the seat and being damaged.
Lower the adjustable head restraint
fully.
Pull the release lever on the top of each
split seat, and fold the seatbacks for-
ward.
