Seats & Safety System

Rear Seats
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
• 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 accident 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.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the
front seat forward.
ODN8039062L
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position by pushing and
holding the release button and
pushing down on the head restraint.

firmly until it clicks into place. Make
sure the seatback is locked in place.
