Folding rear seats (if equipped)
Folding down the rear seats
If your vehicle is equipped with a
built-in child seat, the seatback
cannot be folded down unless the
built-in child seat is fully stowed.
See Built-in child seats in this
chapter for more information.
To fold the seatback down:
• Press the latch control
downward or pull up on strap
and
• Push the seatback down.
Returning the seat to the
upright position
Check to see that the seat
and seatback is latched
securely in position. Keep floor
area free of objects that would
prevent proper seat engagement.
Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
To return the seat to the
upright/normal seating position:
• Rotate seat upward and latch.
The full rear bench seat is shown.
The split-folding rear seat (if
equipped) operates in a similar
manner.
