Pull forward on the tab, located on the outboard side of the seatback, to unlock the seatback. See Trunk on page 2-20 for more information. To return the seatback to the upright position: { CAUTION: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked. 1. Lift the seatback up and push it back into place. 2. Make sure the seatback is locked into place by pushing and pulling on it. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 3 for the other seatback. When the seatback is not in use, it should be kept in the upright, locked position. Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat. 2. Fold the seatback down. This allows access to the trunk. 1-13
