FORD 2005 Explorer v.1 - Manual (Page 119)

To return the seat to a seating
position:
1. Push the seat down and latch to
the floor with a moderate amount of
effort and speed.
2. Make sure the seat is latched to
the floor.
3. Push the handle forward just
enough so that the seat back is
released.
4. Bring the seat back to an upright position. The seatback should lock
into position.
Note: If the seat back is “locked out” and cannot return to the upright
position, repeat Step 2 and unlatch the seat from the floor. Repeat
latching to the floor with a moderate amount of force and momentum.
Your seats are equipped with an Interlock Safety Mechanism which will
not allow the seats to return to a usable position if the seat is not fully
latched to the floor!
To exit the 3rd row seat, pull the
red access control lever up releasing
the seat from the floor and rotate
the seat up towards the front seat.
