Anti-theft lock

The anti-theft lock is located on the top of the rear seatback. The cylinder is operated with the master key (A).
When the lock is in the “LOCK” position, the seatback cannot be folded down by using the seatback release button.
This feature is useful to help prevent theft when the vehicle is parked in an exposed area, because the “trunk through” feature does not then apply.
The seatback can be folded down when the lock is turned to the “FREE” position.
1- Lock
2- Free
At other times, leave the lock at the “FREE” position.
