Head Restraints Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. Split Folding Rear Seat (Option) Seatback Latches The front seat folds forward to let people get into the back seat. Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock in place. Pull forward on the seat tab to fold the seat down. To return the seat to its original position, push it back up and make sure it latches. If your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep hill, the seatback may not fold without some help from you. To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback toward the rear and lift this latch. Then the seatback will fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to work properly.
