Split Bench Seats If you have the split bench seat (50/50 or 40/60), the seatbacks can be folded down individually and the sections can be removed individually. The sections can also be adjusted forward or rearward individually. The second row (40/60) split bench may be equipped with a built-in child restraint. See "Built-In Child Restraint" in the Index. Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat can be either folded down or reclined. The following explains how to use either the nylon strap or the lever to fold or recline the seatbacks. To fold down the seatback, pull this nylon strap on the rear of the seat, while pulling the seatback down until it locks into place. To fold down the seatback, lift up on this lever located on the front of the seatback. Use the lever to raise or lower the seatback to the desired position. When raising or reclining a seatback to an upright position, push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked upright. To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap while raising the seatback until it locks upright. 1-8
