Rear Seats

Rear Seat Operation

Your vehicle has a 60/40 folding rear seat which lets
you fold the seatbacks down for more cargo space.

Pull up on the loop located where the seat cushion meets
the seatback to fold the seat cushion up and out of the
way. This will allow the seatbacks to fold flat and increase
the cargo area.

The rear seatback levers
are located on the outboard
side of each rear seatback.

Pull the seatback toward you as you lift up on the lever.
