NOTICE
僅 Be sure to unfold the headrest when
sitting in the 3rd row seat.
僅 Seat adjustment may stop working if
the vehicle is moved or shifted while
the seat is operating.
僅 When the seats are folded and
unfolded, pressing the 3rd row seat
fold/unfold switch once again stops
the operation. Press the switch again.
僅 When the seats are folded, the seats
can be unfolded by pressing the 3rd
row seatback angle adjustment
switches located on the left and right
of the 3rd row side trim.
僅 When the seatback folds forward, it
can be used as a storage space.
僅 When loading or unloading a vehicle,
put the gearshift in the P (Park) posi -
tion, apply the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB), and then turn off the
vehicle.
僅 The infotainment system may change
after software updates. For more

vided in the infotainment system and
the quick reference guide.
Seatback folding safety feature
僅 When a certain amount of force is
detected when the 3rd row seats are
folded or unfolded, they automatically
return or stop working. However,
these functions may not work if the
sensed resistance is less than a cer -
tain force or if the seat is almost
folded or unfolded. Also, if a strong
impact is applied to the seat, the
object detection function may operate
even if no obstacle is placed.
僅 If the object detection function oper -
ates several times while the seat oper -
ates once, folding and unfolding may
be repeated continuously and the
operation may stop. In this case, after
checking that objects are caught,
operate the switch again to check that
there is no problem.
僅 The angle of the seatback may
change when the seat's object detec -
tion function is activated. Press the
3rd row seat fold/unfold switch to
operate it once to reset the seatback
angle to the normal angle.
WARNING
僅 Do not intentionally place any part of
your body or object within the operat -
ing range to check the object detec -
tion function while the third row seat
is operating.
僅 For safety, when folding or unfolding
the 3rd row seats, make sure that
there are no body parts or objects
around, such as hands or heads,
before operating. In addition, to pre -
vent damage to the seat belt, insert it
into the storage holder and store the
buckle in the storage area inside the
seat before operating it.
僅 If a child seat is installed on the 3rd
row seat, remove it before operation.
僅 If an object is placed on the 3rd row
seat cushion, remove it before opera -
tion.
僅 Raise the seatback of the 2nd row
seats to avoid interference with the
front seats, and if necessary, move
the 2nd row seats forward before
operating.
