Seating and Safety Restraints
Exiting the 3rd row
1. Lower the head restraints. See
Folding down the 2nd row seats
earlier in this section.
2. Pull on the lever/strap (as
equipped) located at the bottom
right of the seat back to release the
seat from the floor, and rotate the
seat up towards the front seat.
3. Follow the directions above to
return the seatback from the load
floor and to the upright position.
Tilting the 2nd row seat for E-Z Entry
The E-Z entry seat allows for easier entry and exit to and from the 3rd
row seat.
To enter the 3rd row seat:
1. Fold down the 2nd row seat and release the handle. Refer to Folding
down the 2nd row seats earlier in this section.
Note: When folding down the seat, release the handle only once. When
the seatback releases and folds, the handle should be released. Any
further turning of the handle while the seatback releases, may damage
the handle. Once the seatback is folded, a second lifting of the handle
will detach the seat rear leg locking mechanism from the floor allowing
the seat to tumble forward.
