Rear Seats Rear Seat Operation The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall the seats.

When you put the seats back in the vehicle, follow the label on the back of the seat for proper location. 3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by pulling the nylon strap located at the base of the seat; hang on to the strap as the seat folds forward.

If the seats have the adjustable head restraints, push them fully down. 2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat, by either pulling on the nylon strap on the rear of the seat or lifting up on the lever located on the front of the seatback.
