To return the third-row seat to the road 
position (forward facing)

1. Make sure to stow the shoulder belts 

away from the seat bottom as it is 
lowered.

2. Detach the support bar by following 

the reverse procedure for installation.

3. From inside the vehicle, carefully 

lower the seat towards the front until it 
locks in place. Attempt to move the 
seat forward and backward to make 
sure it’s securely locked in place.

4. Reinsert the head restraints.

5. Place the seat belt buckles face up.

6. Fasten the shoulder belts and check 

that they are routed properly for 
passenger use.

All seats can be folded down for use as 
beds when the vehicle is safely parked.

Flat Folding

Folded-Flat Seats:
Sitting or lying on seats folded flat is 
a dangerous way to ride. During 
sudden braking or a collision you 
could be thrown around inside the 
vehicle and seriously injured. Don’t 
ride on seatbacks folded flat.
