To fold the seat, pull up on the strap loop at the rear of the seat cushion. Then, pull the seat cushion up and fold it forward. To return the seat to the passenger position, first remove the head restraints by sliding them out of the seat cushion. Lift the seatback up and push rearward all the way. Then, lower the seat cushion until it latches in position. After returning the seat to the passenger position, return the head restraints to the top of each seatback. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place. After folding the seat cushion fully forward, pull the seatback forward and fold the seatback down until it is flat. Then, stow the head restraints by sliding them into the rear of the seatback. Make sure the posts go in all the way. If the latch plate portion of the center safety belt was put in the center armrest when the seat was folded, take the latch plate portion out and place it on the seat. That way, the center seat position safety belt will be available for the center rear seat passenger to use. 1-10
