Rear Seat Operation Extended Cab

If the vehicle has an extended cab, there may be forward folding seats in the rear area.

To fold the rear seat cushion(s) from the stored position to the sitting position, pull the front of the seat cushion down completely.

The rear seat storage compartments must be closed before folding the seat down. See Rear Storage Area .

To store the 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.

1. Secure the safety belt buckle to the inboard side of the seat with the hook and loop fastener (A), so that it does not move when not in use.
2. Push the entire seat up until it is flush with the trim panel.

Rear Seat Operation Crew Cab

The rear seatback(s) in the crew cab can be folded forward.

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.

To fold the rear seatback(s) forward:

1. Disconnect the rear center safety belt latch from the mini buckle by inserting the tip of the safety belt tongue into the slot on the buckle. Let the belt retract.




Pull the loop, located on the outboard side of the seatback, forward until you hear a click.

2. Fold the seatback(s) forward.

To return the seatback(s) to the upright position:

1. Lift the seatback(s) and push it into place.

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.

2. Make sure the seatback(s) is locked by pushing and pulling on it.

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.

3. Reconnect the center safety belt latch plate to the mini buckle. Make sure the safety belt is not twisted.
4. Push and pull on the latch plate to be sure it is secure.

When the seatback is not in use, it should be kept in the upright, locked position.
