Seats Armrest Folding Rear Seat GUIDE CENTER SHOULDER BELT If equipped The lid of the console compartment can be used as an armrest. Make sure the passenger's hands or fingers are away from the armrest before pushing it down. The left and right halves can be folded separately from inside the vehicle or inside the trunk. To fold down the seat-back from inside the vehicle, insert the master key in the lock on the rear shelf. To fold down the driver's side, turn the key clockwise, pull down the top of the seat-back, then release the key. To fold down the passenger's side, turn the key counterclockwise and perform the same procedure. When storing cargo, you can move the rear center shoulder belt out of the way by removing the belt from the guide. 76
