Folding the rear seat

The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.

WARNING

Folded Seatback

Do not sit on folded down seatbacks. The purpose of the fold-down rear seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects that could not otherwise be accommodated.

  • Never allow a passenger to sit on top of the folded down seatback while the car is moving. This is not a proper seating position since the seat has important crash protection features and seat belts are not available in this seat configuration.

  • To reduce the risk of injury caused by sliding cargo within the passenger compartment of the vehicle, objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats.

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

    WARNING

    Objects

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