Stowable Seat Your vehicle may have a stowable seat. The stowable seat is a full bench seat and comes with the convenience center. See Convenience Center on page 2-60 for more information. The stowable seat can be removed and replaced, or with the seatback folded, it can lie flush with the convenience center. To fold down the seatback, pull up on the lever located on the back of the seat and push the seatback down until it is locked into place. Folding the Seatback 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. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into place. To raise the seatback, do one of the following: From the rear of the vehicle, pull up on the lever to release the seatback, then pull the strap, located on the right side of the seat, to pull the seatback up. The seatback has a patch of hook and loop fastener to stow the strap on the rear of the seat when not in use, or from the passenger's side sliding door, pull up on the lever to release the seatback, then push up on the seatback to raise the seat. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked into the upright position. 1-18
