28 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Split Rear Seats
The split rear seat has the ability to fold flat which
increases the storage of the rear cargo area.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the rear seat down, it may be
necessary to position the front seat to its
mid-track position. Be sure that the front seats
are fully upright and positioned forward, this will
allow the rear seat to fold down easily.
Prior to folding the rear seat, you must secure
the rear armrest in the upright position.
You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the seats
are left folded for an extended period of time.
This is normal and by simply unfolding the seats
to the open position, over time the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape.
Cargo Area Enlargement
Folding both sides of the rear seat provides
additional storage in the rear cargo area.
Proceed as follows:
1. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Move
the seat belts to the outboard side of the
seat.
3
. Pull the seatback release lever to fold both
sides of the rear seatbacks completely
forward.
Partial Enlargement Of The Cargo Area
Enlargement of the left side of the cargo area
allows you to carry a single passenger on the right
side of the rear seat, while the enlargement of the
right side allows you to carry two passengers.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the rear shelf (if equipped)

Rear Seat Release
Seatback Repositioning
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatba
ck from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.
1. Move the seat belts to the seat belt guides on
the to
p edge of the seat to ensure the
seatbacks properly latch.
2. Lift the seatbacks, pushing them back until
they
lock on both the latches. Verify the red
notches are no longer visible on the release
lever. If the red notches are visible, the
seatback is not secure.
WARNING!
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are more
l
ikely 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.
