Seating and Safety Restraints
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 it has fully latched. An unlatched seat may
become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
Exiting the third row seat
Stow the head restraint by pushing the head restraint release button
while sliding the head restraint fully down.
Pull on the strap located on the
back of the second row seat. This
will fold the seatback forward. Pull
the strap a second time to tumble
the seat forward, allowing easy exit
from the 3rd row seat.
To return the seatback to the floor
from tumbled position, rotate the
seat down until you hear it latching
to the floor.
