60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat — Four Door Models

To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be

folded flat to allow for extended cargo space.

NOTE:
• Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary to

reposition the front seat to its mid-track position.

• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and posi-

tioned forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold

down easily.

• The center head restraints must be in the lowest position

to avoid contact with the center console when folding

the seat.

WARNING!

• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and

using a seat belt properly.

To Fold Down The Rear Seat

There are two release levers located on each upper out-

board side of the rear seat. The larger of the two release

levers folds down the seat and the head restraint simulta-

neously. The smaller lever folds down the head restraint

independently for improved visibility.
To fold the seat, lift upward on the large release lever and

slowly fold down the seatback. The head restraint will fold

automatically with the seat when this lever is pulled.

NOTE:

You may experience deformation in the seat cush-

ion from the seat belt buckles if the seats are left folded for

an extended period of time. This is normal. By simply

opening the seats to the open position, the seat cushion will

return to its normal shape over time.

To Raise The Rear Seat

Raise the seatback and lock it into place. Then, raise the

head restraint until it locks into place. If interference from

the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking,

you will have difficulty returning the seat to its proper

position.

WARNING!

Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into
position. If the seatback is not securely locked into
position the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
