Caution: If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is not near an airbag. In a crash, an inflating airbag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away from the area in which an airbag would inflate. For more information, see Where Are the Airbags? and Loading the Vehicle .

Caution: Things you put on this seatback can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash. Remove or secure all items before driving.

You can fold the front passenger's seatback down to allow for more cargo space or as a temporary table while the vehicle is stopped.

To fold the seatback down, do the following:

1. Make sure the seatback is at the most upright position and locked.



2. Push forward on one of the levers located on either side of the back of the passenger's seatback.



3. Fold the seatback down.

To raise the seatback, do the following:

1. Push down on one of the levers and pull the seatback up to lock it into place. Make sure the safety belt is not twisted or caught in the seatback.
2. Push and pull the top of the seatback to be sure it is locked into position.
3. Use the reclining front seatback lever to adjust the seatback to a comfortable position.
