3-8 Seats and Restraints
Folding Seatback
The front passenger seatback may
fold flat.
{
WARNING
If you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags?
on
page 3‑27
and Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9‑22.

WARNING
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving.
To fold the seatback:
1. Lower the head restraint all
the way.
2. Lift the bar under the front of the
seat to unlock it. Slide the seat
as far back as it will go and
release the bar. Try to move the
seat back and forth to make sure
it is locked into place.
3. Lift the recliner lever, located on
the outboard side of the seat, up
fully and fold the seatback
forward until it disengages.
4. Continue to fold the seat forward
into the folded position.
5. Pull up on the seatback to be
sure it is locked.
