shown (see Head Supports). Then press the button located in the top corner of
the seat back and fold the backrest downward.

NOTE: To return the seat backs to the upright position, pull the
seat back upward until it latches into place. Try pulling the backrest forward

NOTE: Before folding the seat backs, remove any items from the
seats and the footwell. To allow the backrests to fold completely flat, you may

result in increased perceivable noise and/or vibration coming from the rear of
the vehicle (trunk, suspension, etc.).
WARNING: Always ensure the seat backrests are locked in their upright
position before travel. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury.
