Rear Seatback Lock

To lock or unlock a seatback, move the 
lever.

Children and the Folding Rear Seats:
Playing with the folding rear seats is 
dangerous. Once the seats are back 
up, a child in the trunk would not be 
able to get out the way they had 
entered. If you have small children, 
keep the seatbacks locked. Do not give 
the car keys to children and do not 
allow them to play in the vehicle.

NOTE

When returning a rear seat to its 
original position, also replace the seat 
belt to its normal position. Verify that 
the seat belt pulls and retracts.

Always unfasten the lap portion of the 
belt before folding the rear-left 
seatback. Leaving the lap portion of 
the belt fastened could cause damage 
to the seat belt, buckle and seatback.

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

The seatback locks are part of the 
trunk security system (page 3-11).
