Bucket Seats Second Row

If your vehicle has bucket seats, the seatbacks can be reclined and the seats can be folded to give you more cargo room.

On the extended models with rear bucket seats, the seatbacks can be reclined. To adjust the seatback do the following:

1. Lift the manual lever located on the outboard side of the seat.
2. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it. If you pull the lever without pushing on the seatback, the seatback will go to an 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.

The seatbacks on the bucket seats may be folded forward to give you more cargo space.

On extended models with rear bucket seats, the head restraints need to be removed in order to fold the rear seats. To do this follow these directions:

1. Lift the head restraints up until they stop.
2. Push in the button on the side of the head restraint guide cap and lift up on the head restraint.
3. Do the same for the other cap.

The head restraint can be removed and stored in the space provided in the folded up seat cushion.

To fold the seatbacks on the bucket seats, do the following:

1. Pull up on the strap loop located at the rear of the seat cushion and pull the seat cushion up. Then fold it forward.



2. Pull the seatback release lever up and pull the seatback forward. Then fold it until it is flat.

If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.

Once the seatbacks are folded down, the rear seat footwell area will be exposed and will have to be covered by the load floor panel. To create a load floor, do the following:

1. Release the panels from the seatbacks by pushing forward on the latches.
2. Then fold the panels back to cover the rear seat footwell area.

If you have removed the head restraints to fold the rear bucket seat, be sure to reinstall them on the seatback after it has been returned to the normal seating position.
