Rear Seats
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to facil-
itate carrying long items or to increase
the luggage capacity of the vehicle.To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the uprightposition and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position by pushing and hold-
ing the release button (1) and pushing
down on the headrest (2).
. 3. Pull on the seatback folding lever (1)
located in the trunk.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving. This
is not a proper seating position
and no seat belts are available for
use. This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not extend
higher than the top of the front
seatbacks. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury
or damage during sudden stops.

Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit vehicle
occupants in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
WARNING
When returning the rear seatback
from a folded to an upright posi-
tion, hold the seatback and return it
slowly. Ensure that the seatback is
completely locked into its upright
position by pushing on the top of
the seatback. In an accident or sud-
den stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward
with great force and enter the pas-
senger compartment, which could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the
shift lever is in P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.
