Returning the Seat(s) to the Sitting
Position
To return the seat to the sitting position:
1. Pull the seat down until it latches to the floor.
The seatback cannot be raised if the seat is not
latched to the floor.
{
WARNING:
If either seatback is not locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they
are locked.
2. Lift the seatback and push it rearward. Push and
pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.
{
WARNING:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously injured. After raising
the rear seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.
3. Make sure that the safety belt in the center seating
position is not caught between the two seats and
is not twisted.
Bucket Seats
If your vehicle has bucket seats, the seatbacks can be
reclined, the seats can be folded for additional cargo
space, or folded and tumbled for easy entry and exit to
the third row seats, if your vehicle has them. These
seats will have either the manual fold and tumble
feature or the automatic seat release fold and
tumble feature.
