WARNING (Continued)
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 fold the seatback down:
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.
1. Unbuckle the rear safety belts
and place the front seatbacks in
the upright position. See
Reclining Seatbacks on
page 3
‑ 7 .
2. Lift the lever on the top of the
seatback.
3. Fold the seatback forward.
The filler panel behind the seat
will fold with the seatback to
span the gap between the rear
of the seat and the cargo area,
creating a flat load floor.
Do not lift the filler panel.
Keep the seat in the upright, locked
position when not in use.
