When you put the seats back in the vehicle, be sure
to follow the label on the back of the seat for proper
location. Follow the previous diagram when the text in
this manual tells you what sets of floor cups to use for
each seat.
Flip and Fold Feature
The rear seats in your vehicle, except the captain’s
chairs, can be folded forward. Use this feature for
exiting and entering third row seats.
1. If the seats have the adjustable head restraints,
push them fully down.
2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat by either pulling
on the nylon strap on the rear of the seat or lifting
up on the lever located on the front of the seatback.
If the seat adjusts forward, slide it all the way back.
3. Release the rear set of hooks from the floor pins by
pulling the nylon strap located at the base of the seat;
hang on to the straps as the seat folds forward.
To return the seat(s) to the normal position,
do the following:
1. Push the seat back and firmly push the rear hooks
onto the rear floor pins by pushing down on the
rear of the seat.
2. Try to raise the seat to check that it is locked down.
3. Lift the seatback recliner lever or pull the nylon strap
on the back of the seat and raise the seatback until it
locks upright.
4. Push and pull on the seatback to check that it
is locked.
