Stowable 
Seat 
Your vehicle may have a stowable seat. The stowable 
seat is a full bench seat and comes with the convenience 
center. See 
Convenience Center on 
page

for more 
information. The stowable seat can be removed and 
replaced, or with the seatback folded, it can lie flush with 
the convenience center. 
Folding 
the 
Seatback 
If 
the seatback isn’t locked, it could move 
forward in  a  sudden stop  or  crash.  That could 
cause injury  to  the person sitting  there.  Always 
press rearward on the seatback 
to 
be sure it 
is 
locked. 
To fold down  the  seatback, 
pull up on the  lever  located 
on the back  of  the  seat 
and push  the  seatback 
down until 
it 
is 
locked 
into place. 
Push and pull on the seatback  to  make  sure  that  it is 
locked into place. 
To raise the seatback,  do  one of the following: 
From the rear of  the  vehicle,  pull up  on  the  lever  to 
release the seatback,  then  pull the  strap,  located 
on the right  side  of  the seat,  to  pull the  seatback  up. 
The seatback  has  a  patch  of  hook  and  loop 
fastener to stow  the  strap on the rear of the  seat 
when not in use,  or 
from the passenger’s  side  sliding door, pull 
up 
on 
the lever to release  the  seatback,  then  push  up 
on the seatback to  raise  the seat. 
Push and pull on the seatback to make  sure  that it is 
locked into the upright  position.
