Front seats

Folding front seat backrest

The passenger seat backrest can be folded down to the horizontal

position for carrying long loads. To fold down the backrest:

•

Move the seat as far rearward as possible

•

Adjust the backrest tilt to the most upright position

•

Lift the catches on the lower rear side of the backrest

•

Without releasing the catches, push the backrest forward

•

Move the seat as far forward as possible, so that the head restraint

slides under the glove compartment.

WARNING!

Cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to occupants.

Secure the load to help prevent shifting during sudden stops.
