Your vehicle may have a split folding rear seatback. To fold down the rear seatback, do the following:

1. Open the trunk and pull one or both of the tethers located on the driver's side of the trunk. The left tether will open the larger side of the seatback. The right tether will open the smaller side of the seatback.
2. Once a tether is pulled, the seatback can be pushed open through the trunk, or pulled open from inside the vehicle.

Caution: If either 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 seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

To close the split folding rear seatback, push the seatback up until you hear a click. Then pull on the seatback to make sure it is secure.
