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.

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.

The rear bench seat on the crew cab can be folded down to provide more cargo space.

To fold down the seatback, pull the strap located on the rear of the seat, while pulling the seatback down.

To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap while raising the seatback until it locks upright.

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.

After raising a seatback to an upright position, push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked in place.
