UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 73 NOTE: When lifting up on the release handle, the seatback will release easier if you do not pull forward on the seatback; only lift up on the release handle until the seatback disengages, then fold the seat forward. To restore the 60/40 rear seat to the upright position perform the following steps: Raise the seatback and lock it into place. If interference from the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat cushion to its proper position. Remove the headrests from the cushion panel storage position and reinstall into the rear seat back. 3 WARNING! Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback in not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury. Rotate the seat cushion rearward until it is latched into place.
