Rear Seat

▼

Split Folding

By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage
compartment space can be expanded.

WARNING

Tightly secure cargo in the luggage
compartment when it is transported with
the seatbacks folded down:

Driving without tightly securing cargo and
luggage is dangerous as it could move and
become an obstruction to driving during
emergency braking or a collision resulting
in an unexpected accident.

CAUTION

If the seatback is not supported by your
hand, it will move suddenly and could
cause injury.

Folding both seatbacks down

CAUTION

Check the position of a front seat before
folding a rear seatback. Depending on the
position of a front seat, it may not be
possible to fold a rear seatback all the way
down because it may hit the seatback of
the front seat which could scratch or
damage the front seat or its pocket. Lower
or remove the head restraint on the rear
outboard seat if necessary.

NOTE

When you fold down the left seatback, the
center seatback folds down at the same
time.

1.

(With rear seat warmer)

Turn the rear seat warmer switch off.
Refer to Seat Warmer on page 2-22.

2. After checking that the rear seats are

clear, open the liftgate and lower the
seatback you want to fold down using
the remote handle.
When folding the left side, operate the
outer part of the remote handle.

WARNING

Always remove the child-restraint system
from the rear seat before operating the
remote handle for the rear seat:

Operating the remote handle while a
rear-facing child-restraint system is in the
rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury
to a child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly flips
forward.
