You can fold either side of the rear seatback down for more cargo space.
To lower the rear seatback, follow these steps:
- Open the trunk and pull one or both of the small handles located in the center of the trunk.
- Once the handle is pulled, the seatback can be pushed open through the trunk, or pulled open from the inside of the vehicle.
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.
Caution: If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always pull forward on the top of the seatback at the area of the latch to be sure it is locked.
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.
To raise the rear seatback, lift it up and rearward until you hear a click. Push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked into place.
