The rear seat is a 60/40 split bench seat that can be folded to give you more cargo space and access to the folding midgate. See Midgate® for more information on operation of the folding midgate.

To fold either side of the seat do the following:

1. Push the rear seat head restraints all the way down.



2. Pull the seat loop located where the seatback and seat cushion meet. The seat cushion will release and allow you to tilt it toward the front of the vehicle.

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.




3. Fold the seatback forward until it is flat. You may have to move the front seats forward slightly to do this.
4. Repeat the procedure for the other side.

To return the seats to the normal position, push the seatback up and fold the seat cushion down.

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.

Caution: If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always be sure to press the rear of the seat cushion down. This action locks the seatback in place.

Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked. Raise the head restraint.
