Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
{ CAUTION:
If the 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
seatback to be sure it is locked.
To recline the seatback
on base-level split
bench seats, lift
the recliner lever,
located on the outboard
side of the seatback,
to release the seatback.
Move the seatback to
the desired position.
To recline the seatback
on up-level split bench
seats, push forward
on the recliner lever,
located on the outboard
side of the seatback,
to release the seatback.
Move the seatback to
the desired position and
release the lever.
It is easier to raise or lower the seatback if you
lean forward and take the weight off the seatback.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety
belts still 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.
The seatbacks also fold forward. Lift or push the
recliner lever forward, depending on the model,
and fold the seatback forward.
