Folding Rear Seats
The rear seat(s) of your vehicle can be
folded forward to provide additional cargo
space.
To fold the rear seats forward:

1) Insert the latch plate of the outboard
lap-shoulder belts into the slit (1).
76MH0A029
2) Pull up the release straps on the top of
the seat(s), and fold the seatback for-
ward.
To return the seat to the normal position,
follow the procedure below.
76MH0A030
Raise the seatback until it locks into place.
After returning the seat, try moving the
seatback to make sure they are securely
latched.
NOTICE
• When you move a seatback, make
sure the latch plate is inserted into
the slit securely so the seat belts
are not caught by the seatback,
seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps
prevent damage to the belt system.
• Make sure the belt webbing is not
twisted.

NOTICE
After folding the rear seatback for-
ward, do not allow any foreign mate-
rial to enter the lock opening. This
may cause damage to the inside of
the lock and prevent the seatback
from being locked securely.
WARNING
If you need to carry cargo in the pas-
senger compartment with the rear
seat back folded forward, be sure to
secure the cargo or it may be thrown
about, causing injury. Never pile
cargo higher than the seatback.
WARNING
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, make sure that
there is nothing around the striker.
Any foreign materials prevent the
seatback from being locked securely.
CAUTION
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, be careful that
your finger is not caught between the
lock and the striker.
