Bucket Seats Second Row

If your vehicle has bucket seats, the seatbacks can be reclined, and the seats can be flipped and folded for additional cargo space.

To recline the seatback, do the following:

Regular Model Lever shown, Extended Model Lever similar




1. Pull up on the lever located under the outboard side of the seat cushion.
2. Move the seatback to the desired position and release the lever to lock the seatback in place.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

Pull up on the lever without applying pressure to the seatback and the seatback will return to the upright position. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.

The seat cushions on the bucket seats can be flipped forward and the seatbacks can be folded forward to give you more cargo space.

To flip and fold the bucket seats, do the following:

1. Pull up on the strap loop located at the rear of the seat cushion and pull the seat cushion up and fold it forward.
2. On the extended models, remove the headrest and store it on the top of the seat cushion.

Extended Model Only




3. Push the button at the base of the headrest and pull the headrest out from the seatback. Slide the headrest pins into the holes on the top of the seat cushion to store the headrest.

4. Pull up on the seatback release lever, located on the outboard side of the seat cushion, and push the seatback forward until it is flat.

If the seatback cannot fold flat because it interferes with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.

Once the seatbacks are folded down, on extended models only, the rear seat footwell area will be exposed and will have to be covered by the load floor panel. To create a load floor, do the following:

1. Release the panels from the seatbacks by pushing forward on the latches.
2. Then fold the panels back to cover the rear seat footwell area.

To return the seats to the normal seating position, do the following:

1. On extended models, lift the load floor panels and latch them into the seatback.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

2. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward all the way. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
3. On extended models, return the headrest from the stored position to the seatback.
4. Lower the seat cushion until it latches into position. Pull up on the cushion to make sure it is locked.
5. On regular models, return the headrests to the upright position.
