Third Row Seat Exit

1. Pull on the strap on the back of the
second row seat. This folds the seatback
forward. Pull the strap a second time to
tumble the seat forward, allowing easy
exit from the third row seat. Note: You
must fold the seatback 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.
