Folding down the rear seatbacks
â– Before folding down the seatbacks
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place.
Apply the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.
2. Adjust the position of the front seat and the angle of the seatback.
Depending on the position of the front seat, if the seatback is folded backward, it may interfere with the operation of the rear seat.
3. Lift up and push down the head restraints of the rear outboard seats, and lower the head restraint of the rear center seat. 4. Stow the armrest of the rear seat if it is pulled out.
This step is not necessary when operating the left side seat only.

While pulling the seatback angle adjustment lever A, fold the seatback down.
