Returning the Seat to the Sitting Position

To return the seat to the sitting position from the tumbled position:

1. Pull the seat down until it latches to the floor. The seatback cannot be raised if the seat is not latched to the floor.

WARNING WARNING

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 and push it rearward. Push and pull on the seatback to make sure it is locked.

3. For the 60/40 split-bench seat, make sure the safety belt in the center seating position is not caught between the two seats and is not twisted.
