4. Pull the seatback release lever to fold the
left or right rear seatback completely
forward.
Cargo Area Enlargement
Folding both sides of the rear seat provides
additional storage in the rear cargo area.
Proceed as follows:
1. Fully lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Move the safety belts to the outboard side
of the seat.
3. Pull the seatback release lever to fold
both sides of the rear seatbacks com-

Seatback Repositioning
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents
the seatback from fully locking, you will have
difficulty returning the seat to its proper
position.
1. Move the safety belts to the seat belt
guides on the top edge of the seat to
ensure the seatbacks properly latch.
2. Lift the seatbacks, pushing them back
until they lock on both the latches. Verify
the red notches are no longer visible on
the release lever. If the red notches are
visible, the seatback is not secure.
Unfolding The Rear Armrest 40/20/40
Tilt the head restraint forward and pull the
rear armrest tab to release it from the seat
and pull forward.
The center part of the rear seat can also be
used as rear armrest with cupholders.
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.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the
risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be ad-
justed while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Front Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with front driver and
passenger head restraints.
