To enter the 3rd row seat:
1. Fold down the 2nd row seat.
2. Push the handle all the way
forward until the seat releases from
the floor.
3. Push the seat upward and fold
away from the third row.
Never drive with the seat flipped up in an unlatched condition.
To prevent damage to the seat or safety belts, ensure the safety
belts are not buckled when folding the 2nd or 3rd row seats.
To return the seat to a seating
position:
1. Push the seat down and latch to
the floor with a moderate amount of
effort and speed.
2. Make sure the seat is latched to
the floor.
3. Push the handle forward just
enough so that the seat back is
released.
4. Bring the seat back to an upright position. The seatback should lock
into position.
Note: If the seat back is “locked out” and cannot return to the upright
position, repeat Step 2 and unlatch the seat from the floor. Repeat
latching to the floor with a moderate amount of force and speed. Your
seats are equipped with an Interlock Safety Mechanism which will not
allow the seats to return to a usable position if the seat is not fully
latched to the floor.
