FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 58)

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the head re-
straints removed or improperly adjusted
could cause serious injury or death in the event of
a collision.The head restraints should be checked
prior to operating the vehicle and never adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion.
THIRD ROW PASSENGER SEATS (Seven
Passenger Models)
These head restraints are non-adjustable and non-
removable. However, you can fold them forward when
they are not in use by passengers.
WARNING!
Do not allow a passenger to sit in a third
row seat without having the head re-
straint unfolded and locked in place. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury
to the passenger in the event of a collision.
60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER
SEATS
To provide additional storage area, each second-row
passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating
room if needed.
NOTE: Prior to folding the second-row passenger
seat, make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to fold
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.
•
On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat. In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
To Fold The Seat
1. Locate the control lever on the lower outboard side
of the seat. (fig. 27)
2. Place one hand on the seatback and apply a gentle
pressure.
