fastened may cause damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and return
them to their normal stowed position before folding
a rear seat.
Prior to lowering the seatback, ensure all three of the
seatbelts are unbuckled and the front seats are not
reclined.

forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.
Lift the lever on the upper back corner of the seatback
to move it to the desired position and then release
it. Push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is
locked in place.
