Split Bench Seats
If you have the third row split bench seat, the seatbacks
can be folded down individually and the sections can be
removed individually.
Folding or Reclining the Seatbacks
The seatbacks on each section of the split bench seat
can be either folded down or reclined. The following
explains how to use either the nylon strap or the lever
to fold or recline the seatbacks.
To fold down the seatback,
pull this nylon strap on
the rear of the seat, while
pulling the seatback down
until it locks into place.
To raise a seatback, pull the nylon strap while raising the
seatback until it locks upright.
To fold down the seatback,
lift up on this lever located
on the front of the seatback.
Use the lever to raise or lower the seatback to the
desired position.
When raising a seatback to an upright position,
push and pull on the seatback to check that it is
locked upright.
