Stowing the Third-Row Seat
More storage space can be created by
folding away the third-row seat into the
rear seat well. With the second-row seats
removed and the third-row seat stowed,
even more space is available.
WARNING
Riding in the Seat Well:
Riding in the seat well for the third-
row seat is dangerous. Sudden
braking or a collision could cause
serious injury. Do not sit or lie in the
seat well while the vehicle is moving.
Never ride in a vehicle where you
can't sit in the seat and wear the seat
belt.
WARNING
Pinching Fingers or Hands:
Placing your hands around the seat
stowage well when stowing the third-
row seat is dangerous. You could
pinch your hands or fingers between
the seat and the well. Hold the handle
when lowering the seat into place.
Never place your hands between the
seat and the seat well.
Unlocked Seatback:
An unlocked seatback is dangerous.
While stowing the seat, the seatback
could suddenly move causing serious
injury. Push the seatback forward and
backward to make sure it is locked in
place.
NOTE
Remove any items from the seat well
for the third-row seat before stowing the
seat. Anything in the baggage area
when the seat is set into the well can
damage the seatback material and
prevent a flat cargo area.
