Third Row Seats (Accessing the Seat)
|
WARNING:
Check under the seat cushion to make sure no cargo or objects are under the seat cushion before returning the seat cushion to its original position, and that the seat cushion locks into place. Failure to do so may prevent the seat from operating properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not adjust a seat or release a seat floor latch when the vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in a sudden stop or crash.
WARNING:
Do not drive your vehicle with a seat that is unlatched or in the folded position. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash. |
Note:
Remove items from the second-row seat. Make sure that no bulky objects such as purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the second-row seats before tumbling them.
Note:
For second-row bench seats, make sure the center seatbelt is unbuckled before folding the seatback.
Note:
You may have to move the front-row seat forward to allow the second-row seat to be fully tumbled.

- Lift the handle on the side of the seat. The seatback folds flat.
- Lift the handle all the way up until the seat releases from the floor. Rotate the seat forward to allow access to the third row. Note: The seatback must be folded flat in order to release the floor latches. Make sure that there are no objects on the seat cushion that may restrict the seatback from folding flat.
- To return the seatback to the floor from the tumbled position, rotate the seat down until you hear it latching to the floor.
- Lift the seatback toward the rear of the vehicle, and rotate the seatback until you hear a click, locking it in the upright position.
Note:
The seatback will not raise if the rear latch hooks are not properly engaged to the floor striker. If the seatback does not raise, then repeat Step 4.

- Lift the seatback toward the rear of the vehicle, and rotate the seatback until you hear a click, locking it in the upright position. Note: The seatback will not raise if the rear latch hooks are not properly engaged to the floor striker. If the seatback does not raise, then repeat steps 3 and 4.
- Make sure that the rear latch hooks are properly engaged with the floor striker.
Note:
Make sure that the seat and seatback are latched securely in position. Keep floor area free of objects that would prevent proper seat engagement.
Stowing the Third Row Seat
Note:
Remove all objects from the seat and stowage tub. Objects in the seat or stowage tub may cause serious damage to the seat upholstery and cause improper seat function.
- From the rear of the vehicle, stow the head restraints by pulling the strap on the middle of the seatback just below the head restraint. Then, fold the seatback by pulling and holding the red strap while pushing the seatback forward. Release the strap once the seatback starts rotating forward.
- Release the cushion latches by pulling the short black strap while pulling on the strap at the top of the seatback. This tumbles the seat all the way into the floor tub.
Note:
Do not use the seat anchors as cargo tie downs.
Note:
Do not use the third row seat back as a load floor when the seatback is folded. Sharp objects may result in damage to seat upholstery.
Note:
Make sure that the area under the seat is free of objects before stowing it.
Unstowing the Third Row Seat
|
WARNING:
Make sure the seat fully locks into place by rocking it backward and forward. Not securing the seat into the locked position can be dangerous in a crash and could cause serious personal injury or death. |
Note:
Make sure that there are no objects such as books, purses or brief cases on the load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure to remove all objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause damage to the seat.
Note:
Make sure the area under the forward portion of the load floor is free of objects before unstowing the third row seat.
- Unlatch and lift the seat out of the floor tub by squeezing and pulling up on the handle. Once the seat is at a vertical position, push the seat over, letting it fall onto the latches.
- To return the seatback to the upright position, pull the red strap. Then, while holding the red strap, pull the long strap on the seatback to raise the seatback.
- Pull the head restraints up to their normal positions.
