To fold down the rear seatback

  1. Set the front seatback to the upright position and if necessary, slide the front seat forward.

  2. Lower the rear headrests to the lowest position.

    WARNING

    Objects

    Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.

  3. When folding the seatback, insert the rear seat belt buckle in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion then make sure both seat belts do not interfere with stowed luggage and cargo. Then, the seat belt webbing should be placed in the webbing guide to prevent the seat belt from being damaged by loaded cargo, etc. If the seat belt is loose, it may cause damage or noise. In that case, return the seatback to the upright position and put the webbing out from the guide to realign it.
