REAR SEATS
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold-Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains some rear seating room.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be
necessary to position the front seat to
its mid-track position. Also, be sure that
the front seats are fully upright and posi-
tioned forward. This will allow the rear
seat to fold down easily.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

Rear Seat Forward/Rearward Adjustment — If Equipped
Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the front of the seat near the floor and release
it when the seat is at the desired position. Then, using body pressure, move forward
and rearward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
To Lower The Rear Seat
1. Lift the seatback release lever located on the upper outer edge of the seat or pullthe pull strap located on the middle outer edge of the seat.
2. Fold the rear seatback completely forward.
To Raise The Rear Seat
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will
have difficulty returning the seat to its proper position.
Raise the seatback and lock it into place.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.
Recliner Adjustment
The rear seatback also reclines for additional passenger comfort. Pull on the pull
strap while sitting in the rear seat to recline the seatback.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Load Floor
The cargo load floor system has a load capacity of 400 lbs (181 kg).
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains some rear seating room. Refer to “Rear
Seats” in “Getting Started” for further information.
Cargo Extension Panels
Cargo extension panels can be folded and unfolded. When the rear seats are moved
to the more forward positions and the rear seat backs are folded down, the extension
panels can be unfolded manually by hand (2 of them). The extension panels can be
used to extend the load floor to the rear seats and/or hide the gap between the load
floor and rear seats, or to assist in loading large items into the cargo area.
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks And Loops
The tie-downs located on the cargo area floor should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.
Cargo tie-down loops are located on the trim panels.
WARNING!
• Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a suddenstop or accident, a tie-down could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child
seat tethers.
• To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
• Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits described on the label attachedto the left door or left door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as
far forward as possible.
•
Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or
improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.
