Flip and Fold Feature
The rear seats in your vehicle, except the captain’s
chairs, can be folded forward. Use this feature for
exiting and entering third row seats.
1. If the seats have the adjustable head restraints, push
them fully down.
2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling
on the nylon strap on the rear of the seat or lifting up
on the lever located on the front of the seatback. If
the seat adjusts, slide it all the way back.
3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by
pulling the nylon strap located at the base of the seat;
hang on to the strap as the seat folds forward.
4. Return the seat(s) to the normal position.

If you have the split bench seat (50/50 or 40/60), the
seatbacks can be folded down individually and the
sections can be removed individually. The sections can
also be adjusted forward or rearward individually.
The second row (40/60) split bench may be equipped
with a built
-

-
In Child
Restraint” in the Index.
Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat
can be either folded down or reclined. The following
explains how to use either the nylon strap or the lever to
fold or recline the seatbacks.
To fold down the seatback,
pull this nylon strap on the
rear of the seat, while
pulling the seatback down
until it locks into place.
To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap while raising the
seatback until it locks upright.
