Your vehicle may have a folding rear seat which lets you fold the seatbacks down for more cargo space.

Pull up on the loop located where the seat cushion meets the seatback to fold the seat cushion up and out of the way. This will allow the seatback to fold flat and increase the cargo area.

The rear seatback levers are located on the outboard side of the rear seatbacks.

Pull the seatback toward you as you lift up on the lever. The head restraint will automatically fold out of the way when the seatback is folded down.

To raise the seatbacks, lift up the seatbacks and push on them until they lock into the upright position. Push and pull on the seatbacks to make sure that they are latched securely. Then fold the bottom seat cushion back into place.

To return the head restraint to the upright position, reach behind the seat and pull the restraint up until it locks into place. Push and pull on the head restraint to make sure that it is latched securely.

The second row seat is a 65/35 split seat which may be folded and tumbled. Use this feature for gaining access to the third row seats.

To fold and tumble the second row seat(s), do the following:

1. Push the head restraints fully down.



2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat by pulling up on the front part of the lever. The lever is located on the outboard side of the seat indicated with a 1 on the handle cover and side of the seatback.
3. Release the rear set of seat hooks from the floor pins by pulling up on the rear part of the lever indicated with a 2 on the handle cover and the side of the seatback. This enables the seat to be tumbled forward.

Returning the Seats to an Upright Position

Do the following:

1. Guide the seat to the floor to engage the seat hooks with the floor pins.
2. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked down.
3. Pull the seatback up to return it to the upright position.

Entry/Exit to/from the Third Row Seat

To enter the third row seat, you must fold and tumble the second row seat following the instructions given previously.

If you are exiting the third row with no assistance, do the following.

1. Pull the handle on the center of the second row seatback down to release and fold the seatback.
2. Reach around to the side of the second row seat and pull the back of the seat lever up to tumble the entire seat.

Be sure to return the seat to the upright position when you are finished. Never use the third row seat as a seating position while the second row is folded and tumbled.

Folding the Third Row Seats
