Your vehicle may have bucket seats in the second row. These seats can be adjusted several different ways.

The second row bucket seats can be folded and tumbled forward. Use this feature for exiting and entering third row seats, if the vehicle has them.

1. Make sure the adjustable head restraints are in the fully lowered position.

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.




2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling on the nylon strap, located on the rear right hand side of the seat, or by lifting the recline lever, located on the front right hand side of the seatback.
3. Slide the seat all the way back in this position.



4. Release the rear set of seat hooks from the floor pins by pulling either the nylon strap, located at the base of the seat, or the release handle located on the side of the seat. Use the strap to guide the seat forward.

Be sure to return the seat to the passenger seating position when finished. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked in place. Never use the third row seating position while the second row is folded or folded and tumbled.

To return the seat to the original position, do the following:

1. Align the seat so that the rear hooks on the seat are over the rear floor pins. Push down firmly on the rear of the seat so that the rear hooks attach to the rear floor pins.
2. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked to the floor.
3. Pull the nylon strap, located on the rear right hand side of the seat, or lift the recline lever, located on the front right hand side of the seatback, to raise the seatback to the upright position.

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.

4. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked.

One of the bucket seats may be equipped with a built-in child restraint. See Built-In Child Restraint .

There are two adjustment levers on the second row bucket seats that enable them to move forward or rearward.

One is located below the front of the seat.

The other lever is located on the rear of the seat.

To adjust the second row bucket seats forward or rearward, do the following:

1. Lift up either lever and slide the seat forward or rearward.
2. Release the lever when the seat is in the desired position.
3. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked.

The seatback on a bucket seat can either be folded forward or reclined using the nylon strap or the recline lever.

To fold the seatback forward, do the following:

1. Pull the nylon strap, located on the rear right hand side of the seat, or lift the recline lever, located on the front right hand side of the seatback to release the seatback.

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.

2. Fold 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 raise the seatback to the upright position from a reclined position, do the following:

1. Pull the nylon strap or lift the recline lever while raising the seatback until it locks to the upright position.
2. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked.

To recline the seatback, do the following:

1. Pull the nylon strap or lift the recline lever.
2. Press back on the seatback until it is in the desired position
3. Let go of the strap or lever.

To remove the bucket seats, do the following:

1. Make sure the head restraint is in the fully lowered position.

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.

2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling on the nylon strap, located on the rear right hand side of the seat, or by lifting the recline lever, located on the front right hand side of the seatback.
3. Lift either one of the adjuster levers and slide the seat to the most rearward position. See "Adjusting the Bucket Seats Forward and Rearward" earlier in this section.



4. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by pulling either the nylon strap, located at the base of the seat, or the release handle located on the side of the seat. Use the strap to guide the seat forward.



5. To release the front seat hooks from the floor pins, squeeze the angled bar, located beneath the seat toward the straight crossbar.
6. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly forward, then toward the rear of the vehicle while pulling it out. This should be done in one motion.

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 installing the seat, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

Do not install the seat facing the rear of the vehicle, as it will not lock into place. If more storage room is needed behind the seat, slide the seat forward.

Make sure the seat is in the full rear position before beginning this procedure.

To reinstall the bucket seats, do the following:

1. With the seat folded, squeeze the angled bar beneath the seat toward the straight crossbar, while placing the front hooks of the seat into the front two floor pins.




Make sure the seat is angled so that the front seat hooks clear the floor pins. If the front hooks are not attached correctly, the seat's rear hooks will not attach to the rear set of floor pins.

2. If the front hooks are not attaching correctly, check that the seat is in the full rear position.



3. Firmly push the rear seat hooks into the rear floor pins by pushing down the rear of the seat.

Caution: A seat that is not locked into place properly can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock the seat into place properly when installing it.

4. Check that the seat is locked by trying to raise the seat.
5. Pull the nylon strap, located on the rear right hand side of the seat, or lift the recline lever, located on the front right hand side of the seatback, to raise the seatback to the upright position.

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.

6. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked.
