The rear seat back(s) can be folded down to accommodate bulkier items in the cargo area.

To fold down the seat:

Store the center seat belt.

Retract the seat belt into the holder on the ceiling.
Lower the head restraint to its lowest position. Put the armrest back into the seat back.

From the cargo area side: Pull the release lever and fold down the seat.

To return the seat to the original position, pull up the seat-back in the upright position.
