Fold–down rear seat
(A) FOLDING REAR SEAT
1. Pull up the seatback security lock
lever 1 to the unlock position.
2. Pull up the lock release button 2.
3. Fold down the seatback.
Each seatback may be folded separately.
This will enlarge the trunk as far as the
front seatbacks. See “Luggage stowage
precautions” in Section 2 for precautions
in loading luggage.
CAUTION
When returning the seatback to the
upright position:
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
Make sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent seat
belt from operating properly.
(B) PREVENTING DAMAGE TO REAR
CENTER SEAT BELT WEBBING
When folding down the left seatback, if
the luggage loaded in the enlarged
trunk will damage the webbing of the
rear center seat belt, disconnect the
rear center seat belt to prevent damage.
1. Insert the tab 1 or tab of the outside
seat belt into the buckle–release but-
ton to release the tab 2, and allow
the belt to retract.
