Rear Seats { 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. To return the seatback to the upright position, push the seatback all the way back until it latches. If the seatback was reclined before being folded forward, it will return to the reclined position. Rear Seat Operation (Extended Cab) If the vehicle has an extended cab, there may be forward folding seats in the rear area. To fold the rear seat cushion(s) from the stored position to the sitting position, pull the front of the seat cushion down completely. The rear seat storage compartments must be closed before folding the seat down. See Rear Storage Area on page 2-45. 1-9
