Seating and Safety Restraints
2. Lift the cargo mode lever located
on the back of the seatback to kneel
the seat down and get a flat loading
floor.
Returning to the upright position from full lowered load floor
position
The seatback cannot be returned to the upright position until the seat is
returned from the kneel down position. To return the seat to the upright
position:
1. Push the seat rearward until the
latch is engaged. Use the cushion or
seatback to return to the fold-down
position. Do not use the recliner
handle as it could cause damage to
the handle.
2. Return the seatback 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.
