Placing the 2nd row 60/40 seats in cargo mode (if equipped)
The 2nd row seats can be placed in a kneel down load floor position to
allow more cargo space.
To place the seats in the cargo mode:
1. Fold down the 2nd row seat. See Folding down the 2nd row 60/40
seats and bucket seats above.
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.
Adjusting 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 60/40 seats and bucket seats earlier in this section.
