Seats and Restraints 3-11 Rear Seats The rear seatbacks can be folded to provide more cargo space and access to the midgate. See Midgate® on page 2‑9 for more information on operation of the midgate. To fold the seatback: 1. Push the rear seat headrests all the way down. 2. Pull the loop in the crease where the seatback and seat cushion meet to release the seat cushion. Tilt the seat cushion forward toward the front of the vehicle. 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. 3. Fold the seatback forward until it is flat. If necessary, move the front seats forward slightly to allow the seatback to fold completely. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other seatback, if desired. To return the seats to the normal position, lift the seatback up and fold the seat cushion down.
