Folding the front seat backrest


The front passenger seat backrest can be folded to a horizontal position to make room for a long load. Fold the backrest as follows:
1 - Move the seat as far back and down as possible.
2 - Adjust the backrest to an upright position.
3 - Lift the catches on the rear of the backrest.
4 - Without releasing the catches, push the backrest forward.
Move the seat as far forward as possible so that the head restraint slides under the glove compartment.
WARNING
- When transporting long objects, cover sharp edges on the load to help prevent injury to occupants. Secure the load to help prevent shifting during sudden stops.
- When the seat's backrest is returned to the upright position, push and pull it to be sure that it is securely locked in this position.
