Rear Seats Split Folding the Second Row Seat The second row split bench seatbacks have four available positions - folded forward, upright, partially reclined, or fully reclined. Both of the seatbacks can be moved to any of the four positions independent of the other seatback position. To fold the seatback down, do the following: CAUTION Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat. 1) Ensure all three of the safety belts are unbuckled and removed from the child comfort guide, and the front seatbacks are not reclined. 2) Lower the headrest.

Always push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked. 3) Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked in place. The recliner lever is also used to recline the seatback while a passenger is seated. Refer to "Manual Reclining Seatbacks" in this section. WARNING If the 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 seatback to be sure it is locked. WARNING A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash.
