2nd row EasyFold™ seatback release

Ensure that the seat is unoccupied when folding it down.
Folding the seat while occupied could result in damage to the

seat or injury.

Note:

The power feature is operational when the vehicle is in park and

the lifgate has been open for less than 10 minutes.

The control buttons are located on the left-hand rear quarter trim panel
(accessible from the liftgate area).

Press and hold the control
mechanism to lower the seatback.
The top portion lowers the right
(40%) seatback, and the bottom
portion lowers the left (60%)
seatback.

Returning the 2nd row seatback to the upright position

Before returning the seatback to its original position, make sure
that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the seatback.

After returning the seatback to its original position, pull on the
seatback to ensure that the latches are engaged. An unlatched seat
may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.

Rotate the seatback upward until the seatback latches in the upright
position. The seatback will click when it is locked into position.
