FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 58)

WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback and seat
are locked securely into position. Other-
wise, the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
50/50 SPLIT THIRD-ROW PASSENGER
SEATS WITH FOLD-FLAT FEATURE —
SEVEN PASSENGER MODELS
To provide additional storage area, each third-row
passenger seatback can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains some rear
seating room if needed.
NOTE: Prior to folding the third-row passenger seat-
back, make sure the second-row passenger seatback is
not in a reclined position. This will allow the seatback
to fold easily.
To Fold The Seatback
Pull the latch release-loop located at the top of the
seatback upward, push the seatback forward slightly,
and release the release-loop. Then, continue to push
the seatback forward. The head restraints will fold
automatically as the seatback moves forward. (fig. 34)
To Unfold The Seatback
Grasp the assist strap loop on the seatback and pull it
toward you to raise the seatback. Continue to raise the
seatback until it locks in place. Raise the head restraint
to lock it in place. (fig. 35)
The seatback can also be locked in the reclined posi-
tion. To do so, pull the latch release-loop located at the
top of the seatback upward, allow the seatback to
recline, and release the release-loop.
