Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Rear Seats
All vehicles have rear seat backs that fold forward using a latch lever located at the top of each seat back. Each seat back may be placed in an upright position or may be slightly reclined.
To fold the seat forward, pull upward on the latch and fold the seat forward. Pull on the latch to put the seat back in the up position. To recline the seatback, pull on the latch again while applying pressure to the rear seat back cushion. Pull again on the latch to put the seat back in the full-up position.
