CAUTION
When returning seats to their original
position, observe the following pre-
cautions in order to prevent personal
injury in a collision or sudden stop:
 Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback or
by trying to pull up the edge of the
bottom cushion. Failure to do so
will prevent the seat belt from oper-
ating properly.
 Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
1. Fold up rear seats. (See “—Folding
up rear seats” on page 34 in this
section for instructions.)
2. Unlock the seat by pulling the lock
release lever. Pull the seat toward
you slightly and lift.
Removing the rear seats will enlarge the
luggage compartment. See “Luggage stow-
age precautions” on page 164 in Section
2 for precautions in loading luggage.
