To fold either seatback down, do the following: 1. Pull up on the lock release knob, located on the top of the seatbacks. Front Passenger Folding Seatback CAUTION: If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away from the area in which an air bag would inflate. For more information, see "How the Air Bag System Works" and "Loading Your Vehicle," in the Index. You can also fold the front passenger's seatback down to allow for more cargo space or as a temporary table when the vehicle is stopped. 2. Fold the seatback down. Each seatback can be folded separately. To raise the seatback, do the following: 1. Pull the seatback up and push it back to lock it into place. Make sure the safety belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback. 2. Push and pull the top of the seatback to be sure it is locked into position. 1-7
