Captain's Chairs If your vehicle has the captain's chairs, the seatbacks can be folded forward or reclined and the seats can be removed. It is easier to raise or lower the seatback if you lean forward, taking the weight off the seatback. The armrests can be lowered or raised for entering or exiting the vehicle. The seatbacks on the second row captain's chairs also fold forward to put items behind the left and right seats. Lift up on the recliner lever and fold the seatback forward. The seatback will lock into place when you push it back to the upright 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. To recline the seatback, lift up on the recliner lever, located on the outboard side of the seat. Use the recliner lever to move the seatback to the desired position. 1-20
