Rotate the seat cushion rearward to latch the seat. Then lift the seatback to its upright latched position. NOTE: Prior to lifting either seatback to the upright position, be sure that the seat belt is brought forward to avoid trapping it behind the seatback. CAUTION! Ensure that the seat back is latched with a hard push to engage the latch, noting the presence of seat back rubber-overslam bumpers that need to be overcome. Check that the seat back release knobs are pushed fully forward in order to allow the latch to engage. WARNING! In an accident, you or others in your vehicle could be injured if seats are not properly latched to their attachments. Always be sure the seats are fully latched. Rear Seat Belt Buckle Straps
