Rear Seat Folding

Warning: Always secure objects transported in the passenger compartment. In an impact or sudden maneuver, unsecured objects can become projectiles and cause death or serious injury.

The split rear seat allows you to fold the entire or part of the seat forward 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. After you feel the latch release, fold the seat forward from inside of the passenger compartment.



Note: Use both release handles to completely fold down the entire rear seat.

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 that the seat belts are not trapped behind the backrest.

Rear Seat Pass-Through

For your convenience, the rear seat has a pass-through hatch that allows you to carry long, narrow items without having to fold the rear seat forward.

To open the pass-through hatch:

  1. Fold the rear seat armrest down.
  2. Pull down on the latch and fold the pass-through hatch panel forward onto the rear armrest.


To close the hatch, push the panel up until the latch engages.

CAUTION: When passing items through the hatch into the vehicle, make sure not to damage the upholstery on the seats and the armrests.

Rear Seat Heaters

All rear seating positions have seat heaters in the seat base and back, except the rear center seatback, which only has a heater function in the base.

Control the seat heating in the Pilot Panel, (select > REAR), the rear display, or the capacitive buttons on either side of the rear display.



Press the corresponding heat icon to heat the desired seat. You can heat the seats at three different levels.

  • Press once to heat at the highest level; three intensity indicators will illuminate.
  • Press twice to heat at the medium level; two intensity indicators will illuminate.
  • Press a third time to heat at the lowest level; a single intensity indicator will illuminate.
  • Press a fourth time to turn off the seat heater.
