The rear seat backrests can be folded down to accommodate long items or to increase the luggage compartment volume.
To unlock the rear seatback, press the seatback release button, then tilt the seatback forward.
After returning the rear seat back to the vertical position, check that it is securely locked in this position by pushing the backrest forward and backward by its upper part.
Warning: When returning the rear seatback to the upright position after the seat has been folded, be careful not to damage the webbing or the seat belt buckle. Also, do not allow the seat belt webbing or tongue to become caught in the rear seat.
Warning: The forward-folding rear seat cushion and forward-reclining rear seatback are designed to allow you to carry more luggage in your vehicle. Do not allow anyone to sit on luggage while the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position as the seat belts cannot be used when the rear seat back is folded. No objects should be placed higher than the backs of the front seats, as they may be thrown forward in the event of sudden braking. This could result in serious or fatal injuries in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
