Folding the Rear Seats

The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

Never allow a passenger to sit on a seat that is folded or not fully unfolded while the vehicle is moving. Serious injuries or fatalities may occur if the seatbelt fails to provide normal protection during sudden braking or a collision.

  1. Locate the seat belt toward the outboard position before folding down the seatback to avoid the seat belt system interfering with the seatback.

  2. Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position.

  3. Route the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides to prevent the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.

  • Be careful when loading cargo through the rear passenger seats to prevent damage to the vehicle interior.

  • When cargo is loaded through the rear passenger seats, ensure the cargo is properly secured to prevent it from moving while driving.

  • Unsecured cargo in the passenger compartment can cause damage to the vehicle or injury to its occupants.
