Seats and Restraints 3-11 Rear Seats Folding the Seatback Either side of the seatback can be folded down for more cargo space. Fold a seatback only when the vehicle is not moving. 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. To fold the seatback down: 1. Lower the rear seat head restraints completely. See Head Restraints on page 3‑2. 2. Lift the rear seat armrest and place it in the folded position, if necessary. See Rear Seat Armrest on page 3‑12. 3. Make sure the outboard safety belt is in the belt guide. 4. Pull on the lever on the top of the seatback to unlock it. A tab near the seatback lever raises when the seatback is unlocked. 5. Fold the seatback down. Repeat the steps for the other seatback, if desired.
