Rear Seat Operation
Adjusting the Second Row Seat
The second row seat can be adjusted forward or
rearward. Pull up on the lever under the seat cushion
and slide the seat with your body. Release the lever and
try to move the seat forward and rearward to be sure
it is locked into place.
Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seat
The passenger’s side of the second row seat has an
easy entry feature. This makes it easy to get in and out
of the third row seat, if your vehicle has one.
To operate the seat, pull the release handle located on
the top of the seatback. Fold the seatback down
then pull the release handle on the top of the seatback
to release the seat to tumble forward.
Be sure to return the seat to the passenger position
when nished. Push and pull on the seat to make sure
it is locked in place.
Stowable Seat
If your vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power
folding seat.
The head rests need to be removed before folding the
third row seat. SeeHead Restraints on page 1-7for
instructions for removing the third row seat head rests.
The seatback will not fold all of the way down if the
head rests are not removed.
The buttons that are used to operate the power folding
third row seat are located inside of the liftgate and behind
the second row seat on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle.Inside Liftgate

The Certication/Tire label also tells you the maximum
weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To nd out the actual loads on
your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you
with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the GAWR
for either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread
it out.
Similar appearing vehicles may have different GVWRs
and payloads. Please note the Certication/Tire label on
your truck or consult your dealer for additional details.
{CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either
the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR).If you do, parts on your vehicle
can break, and it can change the way your
vehicle handles. These could cause you to
lose control and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.If you put things inside your vehicle — like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else — they will go as fast
as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
There’s also important loading information for off-road
driving in this manual. SeeOperating Your
All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle Off Paved Roads on page 4-17.
