Seating and Safety Restraints
Continuing to lift the handle will
tumble the seat forward, allowing
easier access to the third row seat.
After entering the 3rd row seat,
return the seat from the tumbled
position and latch it to the floor.
Operate recline control to return the
seatback to the upright position.
Note:
• Ensure that the seat and seatback
is latched securely in position.
• Keep floor area free of objects
that would prevent proper seat
engagement.
• Do not adjust or release the seat
floor latch while vehicle is in
motion.
• Do not operate the vehicle with seats in tumbled position.
Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat is
occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may cause injury
during a sudden stop.
