Seatback Latches The front seatbacks fold forward to let people get into the back seat or to access the storage area behind the seat. To fold a front seatback forward, move the lever located on the side of the seat rearward and pull the seatback forward. Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Models) The right front seat of your vehicle makes it easy to get in and out of the rear seat. 1. Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and the whole seat will slide forward. 2. Move the seatback to its original position after someone gets into the rear seat area. Then move the seat rearward until it locks. CAUTION: If an easy entry right front seat isn't locked, it can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting there could be injured. After you've used it, be sure to push rearward on an easy entry seat to be sure it is locked. Tilt the seatback completely forward and slide the whole seat forward again to get out. To return the seatback to the upright position, push the seatback all the way back until the latch catches. If the seatback was reclined before being folded forward, it will return to the reclined position. CAUTION: If the seatback isn't locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is locked. 1-8
