Rear Seats The rear seats in your vehicle have seat operating features to adjust, fold, remove and reinstall the seats. By using the seat operating features, in the correct order, you can easily remove the seats from your vehicle. When you put the seats back in the vehicle, be sure to follow the label on the back of the seat for proper location. Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks CAUTION: If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is locked. The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat can be reclined or folded forward. Split Bench Seats (If Equipped) If your vehicle has the split bench seat, the seatbacks can be folded forward or reclined individually and the sections can be flipped forward or removed individually. 1-8
