Folding front passenger’s seat (if so equipped)

The front passenger’s seatback can be folded down. Some long objects may be loaded in the vehicle when the rear seats are also folded down. (See “Rear seats” later in this section for folding rear seats.) To fold the front passenger’s seatback, pull the reclining lever all the way 1 .

When returning the front passenger’s seatback to a seating position, lift it up to an upright position. Pull the reclining lever and lean the seatback to a proper seating position. (See “Front manual seat adjustment” earlier in this section.)

- If you fold the front passenger’s seatback down to carry longer objects, be sure this cargo is properly secured and not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person.

- Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the front passenger’s seat when it is in the folddown position. Use of these areas by passengers could result in serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
