Bucket Seats If you have the rear bucket seats, the seatbacks can be folded down or reclined. The seats can also be adjusted forward or rearward and removed. Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks The seatback on a bucket 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 seatback. To fold down the seatback, pull this nylon strap on the rear of the seat. CAUTION: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted won't provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
