Rear Seat Folding Operation
(if equipped)
Fold down the forward-facing rear
seat on Extended Cab models
• Pull down on the bottom of the seat
until it is in place.
Store the seat
• Push the entire seat up until it is flush
with the trim panel.
Note: To ensure that the hinges or
latches do not damage the safety belt or
cause the belt buckle to rattle, fold and
store the belt between the seat cushion
and seatback using the Velcro attach-
ments provided on the lower portion of
the seat.
Fold the Crew Cab’s rear seatbacks
forward
1. Insert a small-tipped tool into the slot
to unlatch the center safety belt
buckle and move the belt to the side,
out of the way.
2. Grasp the loop located on the side of
the seatback (A) and pull it until you
hear a click.

Flexible, Locking Tailgate
The tailgate features a flexible design
that allows it to be positioned fully up,
fully down, partially lowered, or to be
removed entirely.
Partially lower the tailgate
1. From its fully down position, raise the
tailgate high enough to slide the
retaining cable bracket forward and off
the bottom bolt.
2. While still holding the tailgate, raise it
slightly in order to place the cable
bracket’s
lower hole onto the top bolt.
Note: The rear seat storage compart-
ments must be in the rearward position
before folding the seat down.
3. Fold the seatback down.
Repeat the process to fold the other
seatback.
Return the Crew Cab’s rear seatbacks
to the upright position
1. Lift the seatback up and push it into
place.
2. Reconnect the center safety belt latch
plate with the buckle.
3. Push and pull on the seatback to
ensure that it is secured.
Repeat these steps for the other seat-
back as necessary.
