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 positioned
forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold down easily.

Closing
Grasp the liftgate closing handle and initiate lowering the
liftgate. Release the handle when the liftgate takes over the
closing effort.
To Lock The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
liftgate, pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
lock button located to the left of the outside handle release
will lock the vehicle.
The power liftgate may be closed by pushing the button,
located in the upper left trim in the liftgate opening.
Pushing button will only close the liftgate. This button
cannot be used to open the liftgate.
NOTE:The liftgate unlock feature is built into the elec-
tronic liftgate release.
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 “Seats” in this
section 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
(2) can be unfolded manually by hand. 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.
