Raising the Seatback
{
Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
{
Warning
A seat belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the
rear seatback, always check to be
sure that the seat belts are properly
routed and attached, and are not
twisted.
To raise a seatback:
1. Lift the seatback up and push it
rearward to lock it in place.
A red tab near the seatback lever
retracts when the seatback is
locked in place.
2. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
3. Repeat the steps to raise the
other seatback, if necessary.
When the seat is not in use, it should
be kept in the upright, locked position.
Locking and Unlocking the
Seatback
The rear seatbacks can be locked or
unlocked using the vehicle key.
To lock or unlock a seatback:
1. Insert the vehicle key into the
lock next to the seatback release
lever.
2. Turn the key toward the front of
the vehicle to lock or unlock the
seatback.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the
other seatback, if desired.
When the seatback is locked, the
seatback release lever will not work.
The seatbacks cannot be folded down
when the seatback lock is engaged.
