Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
You can fold either side or both sides of the seatback
down in your vehicle for more cargo space. Make sure
the front seat isn't reclined. If it is, the rear seatback may
not fold down all the way.
To lower the rear seatback, follow these steps:
1. Remove the rear center lap-shoulder belt latch by
using a pointed object to press the release button.1. Pull forward on the
seatback tab located
on the outboard side
of the rear seat
cushion to fold the
seatback down.
This will allow you direct access to the trunk.

If you do have a heavy load, spread it out. Don't carry
more than 167 lbs (75 kg) in your trunk.
{CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, and it can change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to lose
control and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
Notice:Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
If you put things inside your vehicle Ð like suitcases,
tools, packages or anything else Ð they will go as fast
as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, they'll keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
·Put things in the trunk of your vehicle. In a
trunk, put them as far forward as you can.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
·Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
·Don't leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
·When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
·Don't leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
