Rear Seat Folding

Warning: Secure objects carried within the vehicle. In an impact or sudden maneuver, unsecured objects can cause death or serious injury.

The split rear seat allows you to fold forward all or part of the seat to increase the load-carrying area.

Before folding down a seat, remove any items on the seat or in the rear footwell and adjust the rear head restraints to the lowest position. See Rear head restraints.

The rear seat release handles are located in the trunk.

To fold down a rear seat, pull the corresponding release handle.

Note: To fold down the complete rear seat, use both release handles.

After you feel the latch release, fold the seat forward from inside the passenger compartment.

Raising

To return the seat to its upright position, push it back until it locks in place. Make sure the seat back is locked in place by trying to pull the seat back forward.

Warning: When the seat back is in its upright position, make sure the locking mechanism fully engages. If the locking mechanism does not fully engage, the risk of death and serious injury increases in an accident or heavy braking.

Note: When returning the seat to its upright position, make sure the seat belts are not trapped behind the backrest.
