To return the rear seatback to the
normal seating position:
Safety Belt Clip on Side Trim
1. Remove the outboard safety belt
from the safety belt clip (if
equipped) on the side trim of the
vehicle.
2. Lift the seatback and push it
rearward to lock it in place. A tab
near the seatback lever retracts
when the seatback is locked in
place.
Make sure the safety belts are
not pinched by the seatback
locking mechanism.
The center rear safety belt may
lock when you raise the
seatback. If this happens, let the
belt go back all the way and
start again. If the safety belt is
still locked, try again after pulling
the seat cushion out.
3. Push and pull the top of the
seatback to be sure it is locked
into position.
4. Return the seat cushion to its
original position and push down
on the front part of the seat
cushion until it latches.
Make sure the safety belts and
safety belt buckles are not
trapped under the seat cushion
and are properly positioned
for use.
5. Repeat Steps 1
–
4 for the other
seatback and seat cushion,
if necessary.
If additional cargo space is not
needed, the seatbacks should be
kept in the upright, locked position.
