MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
Manual Folding Second Row Seat
The manual folding split rear seat 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.
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. Remove the rear shelf (if equipped).
2. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
3. Move the safety belts to the outboard side of the seat.
4. 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).
2. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
3. Move the safety belts to the outboard side of the seat
and rest them on the seat belt guide.
4. Pull the seatback release lever to fold the left or
right rear seatback completely forward.
Seatback Release Lever
Seatback Repositioning
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents the seatback
from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat
to its proper position.
1. Move the safety belts to the seat belt guides on the
top 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!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
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.
WARNING!
