Stowing the third row seat
1. Remove all objects from the seat and stowage tub. Objects in the seat
or stowage tub may cause serious damage to the seat upholstery and
cause improper seat function.
2. From the rear of the vehicle, stow
the head restraints by pulling the
strap located on the middle of the
seatback just below the head
restraint, then fold seatback by
pulling and holding the number 1
strap while pushing the seatback
forward. Release the strap once the
seatback 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 seatback to tumble the
seat all the way into the floor tub.
Note: Do not use the seat anchors as cargo tie downs.
Note: Do not use the third row
seatback as a load floor when the
seatback is folded. Sharp objects
may result in damage to seat
upholstery.
Note: In order to allow the seat to latch in the stowed position, do not
stow objects under the seat before stowing.
