SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Passenger Folding Seatback The front passenger's seatback may fold flat. WARNING If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is not near an airbag. In a crash, an inflating airbag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away from the area in which an airbag would inflate. For more information, refer to "Where Are the Airbags?" in this section and refer to "Loading Your Vehicle" in "Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle" in the "Driving Your Vehicle" section. 1618866 1618864 3) Lift the recliner lever, located on the outboard side of the seat, up fully and fold the seatback forward until it disengages. 4) Continue to fold the seat forward until it locks in the folded position. 5) Pull up on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
