Your vehicle may have a split folding rear seatback.

To fold down the rear seatback on the sedan, do the following:

1. Open the trunk and pull one or both of the handles located on the upper part of the trunk opening. The driver's side handle will open the larger side of the seatback. The passenger's side handle will open the smaller side of the seatback.

Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.

2. Once a handle is pulled, the seatback can be pushed open through the trunk, or pulled open from inside the vehicle.

To fold down the rear seatback on the MAXX, do the following:

1. Pull up on and hold the lever located on the side of either rear seat.

Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return them to their normal stowed position before folding a rear seat.




2. Once a lever is pulled, the seatback can be pushed into the down position.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

To return the seatback to the upright position, push the seatback up until you hear a click. Then pull on the seatback to make sure it is secure.

If your vehicle is the MAXX model your rear seat will slide forward or rearward to allow more cargo space in the rear.

Lift the bar located under the front of the seat to unlock the seat. Slide the seat to where you want it and release the bar. Try to move the seat back and forth to be sure the seat is locked in place.

If your vehicle has the rear seat entertainment system, slide the rear seat up so that the front edge of the seat cushion is lined up with the mark on the carpet retainer trim on the floor of the driver's side rear seat. If the rear seat is up past the mark, you will not be able to open the DVD screen.
