Split Folding Rear Seat
The split bench and bucket seats can be folded to
provide more cargo space.
Folding the Seatbacks
The seatbacks are equipped with rearward folding head
rests (SUV only). When the seatback is being folded
down, the head rest will automatically fold rearward.
To fold the rear seat:
1. Make sure that nothing is under or in front of
the seat.
2. Pull up on the strap
loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion and
pull the seat cushion up
and fold it 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.
3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it
is at.
If the seatback cannot fold at because it interferes
with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward
and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.
4. Repeat the steps for the other half of the split
bench seat.
{CAUTION:
Using the third row seating position while the
second row is folded, or folded and tumbled, could
cause injury in a sudden stop or crash. Be sure to
return the seat to the passenger seating position.
Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is
locked into place.

top tether anchor is located at the bottom rear of the seat
cushion for the center position in the second row. You
may need to fold the seatback of the passenger side seat
forward in order to access this anchor.For models with second row bucket seats, the top tether
anchors are located at the bottom rear of the seat cushion
for each position in the second row. Be sure to use the
anchor located nearest to the seating position where the
child restraint will be placed. Second Row — SUT 60/40 Bench
Second Row — Bucket

Midgate®(SUT)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo area
covered and the tailgate and the Midgate®open
because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come
into your vehicle. You can not see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the cargo covers on and the
tailgate and Midgate
®open or if electrical wiring or
other cable connections must pass through the
seal between the body and the Midgate
®:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed on the setting that
brings in outside air. This will force outside air
into your vehicle. SeeDual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 3-22.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-45.
The Midgate
®allows you to extend the length of the
vehicle’s cargo area into the cab.
Lowering the Midgate
The Midgate window must be completely lowered for
the Midgate®to be lowered. See “Midgate®Window”
underPower Windows on page 2-20.
Both the Midgate and the Midgate window can be
lowered while the ignition is in either ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY, or while in Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) mode. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-29for more information.
To lower the Midgate:
1. Fold the rear seats forward. SeeSplit Folding Rear
Seat on page 1-11. The front seats may have to be
moved forward slightly.
2.
K(Midgate Window):Press the bottom part
of this switch to lower the Midgate window.
SeeInstrument Panel Overview on page 3-4
for the location of this switch.
The window can also be operated using the global
express-down button. See “Global Glass Feature”
underPower Windows on page 2-20.

Using heavier suspension components to get
added durability might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load
your vehicle the right way.
If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they
go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will keep
going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some
of them are above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. See “Loading Your
Vehicle for Off-Road Driving” underOff-Road
Driving on page 4-15.
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need
to put a limit on how many people you can
carry inside your vehicle. Be sure to weigh your
vehicle before you buy and install the new
equipment.
Notice
:Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside. But you can
gure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
