Seat Adjustments, Folding Rear Seat The front head restraints adjust for height. You need both hands to adjust the restraint. Do not attempt to adjust it while driving. To raise it, pull upward. To lower the restraint, push the release button and push the restraint down. To remove a head restraint for cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as it will go. Push the release button and pull the restraint out of the seatback. To fold down either side of the seatback from inside the car, use the master key in the lock on the rear shelf. To fold down the driver's side, turn the key clockwise, fold down the seat-back, then release the key. To fold down the passenger's side, turn the key counterclockwise and perform the same procedure. Folding Rear Seat The back of the rear seat folds down to give you direct access to the trunk. Each side folds down separately. With only half the seat folded, you can still carry a passenger in the back seat. MASTER KEY Driving your car without head restraints can lead to serious injury to you and your passenger in a crash. Make sure the head restraints are in place and adjusted properly before driving. Instruments and Controls
