Caution: If a head restraint is not installed on the seatback or stored in the vehicle properly, it could be thrown about the vehicle in a crash or sudden maneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured. Remove the head restraints only when you need to fold the seat, and be sure that the head restraints are stored securely in their proper storage location. When the seat is returned to the passenger position, be sure the head restraints are installed properly.

The rear seat in your vehicle folds to provide more cargo space. To fold the rear seats do the following:

1. Fold the safety belt buckles and center safety belt (if equipped) into the pocket of the rear seatback.



2. Pull the release straps located near the center of the vehicle to release the seat cushion. Fold the seat cushion forward.



3. Remove the head restraint from the seatback by raising the head restraint fully. Press the release button and remove the head restraint from the seatback.




Store the head restraint in the top of the folded seat cushion.





Pull up on the seatback release knob(s) on top of the seatback and fold the seatback down.





Secure the two black straps attached to the back of the folded seat cushion by hooking them onto the knobs on the back of the seatback when folded down.

To raise the rear seat do the following:

1. Unhook the two black straps from the buttons on the seatback.
2. Fold the rear seatback up. Push and pull on the seatback to ensure it's locked in position.
3. Reinstall the head restraints by inserting them into the seatback. Make sure the head restraints are secure in the seatback.
4. Insert the plates of the two black straps into their storage slots on the bottom of the seat cushion.
5. Fold the seat cushion back and make sure it is locked into position.
6. Remove the safety belt buckles and center safety belt (if equipped) from the seatback pocket.
