Rear Seats
Folding the rear seat (if equipped)
The rear backseats can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.To fold down the rear backseat:
1. Set the front backseat to theupright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position.
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down
backseat 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 backseat should not
extend higher than the top of
the front backseats. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.

When returning the rear back-
seat from a folded to an upright
position, hold the backseat and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
backseat is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the back-
seat. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked backseat-
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be
properly secured and may hit
vehicle occupants in a collision
causing serious injury or death.
