Your vehicle has rear seatbacks that can be folded down to provide an extended cargo area.

To fold down the seatback, do the following:

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. Push the rear head restraints down completely.
2. Detach the safety belt in the rear center seat position. Press the button in the buckle to release the latch plate from the buckle.



3. Press the release button located on top of the rear seatback.
4. Fold the rear seatback forward and down.

To return the seatback to the upright position, do the following:

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.

1. Lift the seatback up and push firmly on the top of the seatback until it latches securely in the fully upright position.

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.

2. Make sure that the safety belts are not twisted or caught under the seatback.
3. Re-attach the rear center safety belt. Push the latch plate at the end of the safety belt strap into the buckle with the release button until the mechanism clicks. Make sure the strap is not twisted. The sliding latch plate should face the front of the vehicle.
