To fold down the backrest:
Pull the handle on the upper side of the right or left outboard second row seat upward/forward.
Fold the backrest down and move the entire seat forward.
To return the seat to the upright position:
Push the seat rearward to its end position. The backrest should then easily return to the correct position.
Note
If a backrest in the second row of seats does not lock back into the upright position after being folded down (e.g. for getting in or out of the third row of seats), it may need to be pushed forward again before trying again.
Warning
Make sure that the rear seat backrest and head restraint are locked securely in place after the seat is folded up.
The head restraints at the outer seats must always be raised when there is a passenger in one of these spots of the rear seat.
The second row backrests must always be in the upright position when child seats are installed in the third row of seats. Use caution when getting in and out of the third row of seats to ensure that the second-row seats do not pinch or otherwise affect installed child seats.
