WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, head restraints must be installed properly.
Split-folding rear seat
One or both rear seatbacks can be folded down to provide additional
cargo space.
To lower the seatback(s) from
inside the vehicle, pull the strap
located on the outboard side of the
seatback to release it, and then fold
seatback down.
When raising the seatback(s), make sure you hear the seat latch into
place.
WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
