FOLDING THE REAR SEATS
First, lower the headrests. Then, pull up on the
release knob until you can see the red at the
bottom of the knob and fold down the seats.
To return the seatback to its original position,
raise the seatback until it locks into place. You
will no longer be able to see the red at the
bottom of the knob when the seat is locked.
If equipped, release latches are located on
either side of the cargo area. Pull the release
latch on the seat side that you want to fold
down.
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
The child safety locks are located on the inside
edges of the rear doors. In the locked position,
the rear doors can only be opened from the
outside.
