Object Number: 1617146  Size: B3

There is a lever located on the back of both front seats near the top on the outboard side.

These are used to fold the seatbacks forward for easy entry and exit of the rear seats. The front passenger's seat has an easy entry feature which allows the entire seat to move forward. See Easy Entry Seat .

To fold the seatback forward, lift the lever and push the seatback forward.

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.

To return the seatback to the upright position, push the seatback rearward until it locks in place. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.
