To raise the seatback, do one of the following:
•
From the rear of the vehicle, pull up on the lever to
release the seatback, then pull the strap located on
the right side of the seat, to pull the seatback up.
The seatback has a patch of hook and loop fastener
to stow the strap on the rear of the seat when not
in use.
•
From the passenger’s side sliding door, pull up on
the lever to release the seatback, then push up on
the seatback to raise the seat.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into the upright position.
Removing the Stowable Seat
1. Remove the convenience center, if it is in the
vehicle. See Convenience Center on page 2-59
for more information.
2. Make sure all items are off of the stowable seat.
3. If the seatback is down, put the seatback in
its upright position before removing the seat.
See “Folding the Seatback” previously in this
section.
4. From behind the bench seat, push up the release
handles at the base of the seat to release the
latches from the floor pins.
5. While holding onto the crossbar at the bottom of the
seat, remove the seat by rocking it slightly toward
the rear of the vehicle and then pulling it out.
This should be done in one motion.
Notice: If you use the release handles to remove the
seat, the handles could break, and the repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Use the crossbar
located at the seat bottom to remove the seat.
