Seating and Safety Restraints
5. To return the seatback to the
floor from tumbled position, rotate
the seat down until you hear it
latching to the floor.
6. To return the seatback to the
upright position
• 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.
7. Pull the head restraint back up to its normal adjusted position.
WARNING: 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.
2nd row power fold and tumble seat (six–passenger vehicles only)
WARNING: Ensure that the seat is unoccupied when folding it
down. Folding the seat while occupied could result in occupant
injury or damage to the seat.
