Rear Seats Rear Seat Operation The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and straps used to adjust, remove and reinstall the seats. By using the levers and straps, in the correct order, you can easily remove the seats from the 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. Flip and Fold Feature The rear seats in your vehicle can be folded forward. Use this feature for exiting and entering third row seats. 1. If the seats have the adjustable head restraints, push them fully down. 2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling on the nylon strap on the rear of the seat or lifting up on the lever located on the front of the seatback. If the seat adjusts, slide it all the way back. Second Row Safety Belt Stowage If your vehicle has a split bench seat in the second row, use the clip on the safety belt to secure the belt after it is disconnected from the mini-buckle. When removing the second row split bench seat, secure the loose end of the safety belt in this clip. This will keep the safety belt from dangling and possibly striking something. Do not have the second row outside safety belt stored if someone is sitting in the second row outside position. 3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by pulling the nylon strap located at the base of the seat; hang on to the strap as the seat folds forward.
