Folding rear seat  
(liftback and station wagon)  
BEFORE FOLDING THE BACK SEAT  
Store the rear center seat belt buckle  
as shown.  
This will prevent the safety belt buckle from falling  
out when the backrest is folded down.  
NOTICE  
The seat belt buckle must be stowed  
before the backrest is folded down.  
FOLDING THE REAR SEAT  
1. Lift the seats up to unlock the seats.  
Then fold the seats forward.

3. Press the lock release button on the top of the  
backrest and fold the backrest down.  
2. Remove the head restraints.  
Each backrest can be folded down separately.  
This increases the size of the trunk up to the backrests.

WARNING  
Do not allow passengers to sit on the folded seat  
or in the luggage compartment while driving;  
use the seat in its normal position.  
To prevent death or serious injury in an accident  
or sudden stop, follow these instructions when  
returning the backrest to the upright position  
and returning the seat to its original position:  
• By pulling the top of the backrest  
forwards and backwards and pulling  
the edge of the seat up near the tab,  
make sure that the backrest and seat  
are securely locked and that the red  
mark on the button located on the top  
of the backrest is not visible. This will  
prevent improper function of the seat belt.  
Make sure you put the head restraints on.  
BEFORE RETURNING THE BACK SEAT  
When returning the backrest up, make sure that  
the shoulder belt passes through the guide.  
• Make sure that the seat belts are not  
twisted or pinched in the backrest or  
under the seat, are adjusted to the  
correct position and ready for use.
