Seating and safety restraints Folding rear seats (if equipped) Pull the release knob located in the luggage compartment. Fold down the seat. The seat back cannot be released while the built-in child seat (if equipped) is open. If you are carrying objects that might damage the center rear three-point safety belt, you can unbuckle the end of the belt from the small buckle on the seat cushion and let the retractor reel it up. Reconnect the belt tongue to the buckle when you fold the seat back up. Refer to Center position three-point safety belts in this chapter. To raise the rear seat back, push the seat back upward until it locks in place. Make sure it is firmly latched by pushing forward and back on it. Check to see that the seat and seat back are latched securely in position. Keep luggage area free of objects that would prevent proper engagement. 76
