Rear Seats
Reclining Rear (Second Row) Seats
The seatbacks can be reclined in the second row seats.
To recline the seatback,
do the following:
1. Pull the lever located
at the base of the seat
cushion forward.
2. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you
want it. Pull the lever again without pushing on
the seatback and the seatback will go to an
upright position.
Folding Rear (Second Row) Seats
The rear seat is a 60/40 split seat which may be folded
down to give you more cargo space. The rear seatbacks
are equipped with rearward folding head restraints.
When the seatback is being folded down, the head
restraint will automatically fold rearward to allow a flat
load floor for cargo or entry to the third row seating.
To fold the rear seat, do the following:
1. Insert the two safety belt buckles into the pocket
in the seatback before folding the rear seat on the
driver’s side.
That way, the buckles will be out of the way when
the seat is folded and will be available for passengers
to use when the seat is returned to the passenger
position. Also, make sure that nothing is under or
in front of the seat
2. Make sure the seatback is in an upright position
(unreclined) before folding it.
