Seats and Restraints Push down on the head restraint after the button is released to make sure that it is locked in place. The head restraints are not designed to be removed. Always raise the rear center head rest at least one position when there is a passenger seated there. 1-7 Rear Seats Rear Seat Operation You can fold either side of the seatback down. The rear right side seatback can also be used as a temporary table while the vehicle is stopped. Active Head Restraint System The vehicle has an active head restraint system in the front seating positions. These automatically tilt forward to reduce the risk of neck injury if the vehicle is hit from behind. { CAUTION A rear seatback folded forward, or any other object contacting or pressing the front seatback may affect the proper functioning of the passenger sensing system. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-28. To fold either seatback down: 1. Move the front seat forward and the seatback to the upright position. 2. Move the headrests all the way down. 3. Pull up on the lock release knob, located on the top outboard side of the seatback. Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat. 4. Fold the seatback down.
