Rear Seat Operation (Crew Cab) The second row seat is a 60/40 split seat. Either side of the rear seat may be flipped and folded for added cargo space. Make sure that nothing is under or in front of the seat and that the head restraints are completely lowered. To flip and fold the seat, do the following: 1. Pull up on the strap loop at the rear of the seat cushion. Then, pull the seat cushion up and flip it forward. Notice: 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. 2. After folding the seat cushion fully forward, pull the seatback forward until it is flat. If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or bringing the front seat more upright. The lever at the base of the seat must be turned rearward to release the seatback. 20
