2. From the rear of the vehicle,
stow the head restraints by pulling
the strap located on the middle of
the seat back just below the head
restraint. Then fold the seat back by
pulling and holding the number 1
strap while pushing the seat back
forward. Release the strap once the
seat back starts rotating forward.
3. Release the cushion latches by
pulling the number 2 strap while
pulling on the strap located at the
top of the seat back. This will
tumble the seat all the way into the
floor tub.
Note: Do not use the third row seat
back as a load floor when the seat
back is folded. Sharp objects may
result in damage to seat upholstery.
