Split-Folding Rear Seatback

To fold the seatbacks

CAUTION

When operating the rear seatback knob,
make sure you support the seatback
with your hand. If the seatback is not
supported with your hand, it will flip
forward suddenly and could cause
injury to the finger that pushes the rear
seatback knob down.

1. Unfasten the lap portion of the center-

rear seat belt (page 2-18).

CAUTION

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.

2. Position the outboard seat belts to the

side when folding the seatbacks down.

3. Support the seatback with your hand.

4. Push the rear seatback knob down.

To return the seatbacks to the upright
position

1. Position the outboard seat belts to the

side.

2. Lift the seatbacks upright.

3. Make sure the seat belts are fully

pulled out from under the seatbacks.

4. Pull on the top of the seatbacks from

inside the vehicle to make sure they are
locked.

5. Fasten the center-rear lap/shoulder belt

and check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use (page 2-18).

WARNING

Always make sure the seat belts are
fully pulled out from under the
seatbacks:
A seat belt caught under a seatback
after the seatback is returned to its
upright position is dangerous. In a
collision or sudden stop, the seat belt
cannot provide adequate protection.
