Folding the Rear Seats

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

Locate the seat belt toward the outboard position before folding down the seatback to avoid the seat belt system interfering with the seatback.
Lower the rear head restraints to the lowest position.
Route the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides to prevent the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.
