Tilting the 50/50 Split Bench Seat
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move forward
in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury
to the person sitting there. Always press rearward
on the seatback to be sure it is locked.
CAUTION:
If the support rod isn’t properly engaged, the
folded third row seat could come loose in a
sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to
people and damage to your vehicle. Always be
sure the support rod is properly engaged when
the third row seat is folded forward.
Once the third seatback has been folded down, the
entire seat can be tilted forward to create a flat load
floor. To do this, do the following:
1. Enter the rear cargo area of the vehicle.
2. Make sure the head restraints have been
lowered completely.
3. With the seat folded, unlatch the seat from the floor
by pulling up on the lever located under the carrying
handle at the rear of the seat labeled 2.
4. Lift the rear of the seat up, off the floor. You will not
be able to unlatch the seat from the floor unless the
seatback is folded down.
5. Tilt the seat fully forward and secure it in place using
the support rod located on the underside of the seat
on the passenger’s side. Make sure the rod pin is
fully engaged in the lock.
6. Push and pull on the seat. Make sure the support rod is
holding it firmly in place. Use the seat in this position
only when necessary for additional cargo space.
