If your vehicle has the bucket seats, the seatbacks can be folded down or reclined. The seats can also be adjusted forward or rearward and removed.

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 each seat to adjust the seat forward or rearward.

One is located below the center, in front of the bucket seats.

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

Lift up either lever and slide the seat forward or rearward.

Release the lever. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked 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.

The seatback on a bucket seat can be either folded forward or reclined. The following explains how to use either the nylon strap or the lever to fold or recline the seatback.

To fold the seatback forward, pull the nylon strap located on the rear of the seat or lift up on the recliner lever located on the front of the seatback. The seatback will lock into place.

To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap or lift the recliner lever while raising the seatback until it locks upright. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked into place.

To recline the seatback, pull the nylon strap or lift the recliner lever. Press back on the seatback until you reach the desired position, then let go of the strap or lever.

To return the seatback to an upright position, pull on the nylon strap or lift the recliner lever without putting any pressure on the seatback. Push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked into place.

Make sure the seatback is in the upright position. The head restraints should be fully down.

1. Lift the seatback recliner lever or pull the nylon strap on the back of the seat to fold the seatback forward.
2. Slide the seat all the way back by lifting either one of the adjuster levers and sliding the seat fully rearward.



3. From behind the seat, pull the nylon strap, located at the base of the seat, to release the rear latches from the floor pins.



4. You can also lift the lever on the side of the seat to release the rear latches from the floor pins.

Do not let go of the strap or lever until the seat is folded all the way forward.




5. To unlatch the front latches, with the seat folded forward, squeeze the angled bar toward the straight crossbar.
6. Remove the seat by rocking it slightly forward, then toward the rear of the vehicle and then pulling it out. This should be done in one motion.

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.

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.

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.

Don't put the seats in so they face rearward because they won't latch that way. If you want more storage room behind the seat, adjust the seat by sliding it forward.

The bucket seats have seat position labels, located on the back of the seat, showing where the seat must go. Follow that diagram. The seat must be placed in the proper location for the legs to attach correctly.

Make sure the seats are in the full rear position before beginning this procedure.

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




Make sure the bucket seat is angled so that the front hooks clear the floor pins.

2. If the front legs are not attached correctly, the rear legs will not attach to the rear set of floor pins.

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




3. Firmly push the rear hooks onto the rear floor pins by pushing down the rear of the seat.
4. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked down.
5. Lift the seatback recliner lever or pull the nylon strap on the back of the seat and raise the seatback until it locks upright.
6. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is locked in place.
