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

4. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as
described inRear Seat Passengers on page 1-22.
Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the
shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the
belt edges together so that you can take them out of the
guides. Slide the guide back on its storage clip located
between the interior body and the seatback.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the driver
and right front passenger. Although you can not see
them, they are located on the buckle end of the safety
belts. They help the safety belts reduce a person’s
forward movement in a moderate to severe frontal and
near frontal crash.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a
crash, you will need to get new ones, and probably other
new parts for your safety belt system. SeeReplacing
Restraint System Parts After a Crash on page 1-59.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will
order you an extender. It is free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and
use it only for the seat it is made to t. The extender has
been designed for adults. Never use it for securing
child seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety
belt. For more information, see the instruction sheet
that comes with the extender.

Anti-Pinch Feature
If an object is in the path of the sunroof when it is
closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object and
stop the sunroof from closing at the point of the
obstruction. The sunroof will then reverse. To close the
sunroof once it has re-opened, remove the obstruction
and press the front of the sunroof switch.
Resynchronization
To resynchronize the sunroof and sunshade, do the
following.
1. With the engine running, press and hold both the
sunroof switch in the open position and the
sunshade switch in the closed position for
six seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
3. When the sunroof reaches the fully closed position,
the sunshade will close.
4. After the sunroof and sunshade have fully closed,
continue to hold the sunroof switch in the closed
position for an additional three or four seconds
to complete the Teach Process.
Sunroof (UltraView Plus)
{CAUTION:
People who are in a crash and not wearing a
safety belt properly can suffer much worse
injuries. They can hit things inside the vehicle
or be ejected from it, and be seriously injured
or killed. This is true for any vehicle occupant,
in any motor vehicle, but if you have the
Ultraview roof it is, if anything, even more
important. In a rollover or other crash, the
Ultraview roof can be damaged or destroyed.
People who are unbelted would then be at
even greater risk of being ejected from the
vehicle. Always fasten your safety belt, and
check that your passengers’ belts are fastened
properly too.
The vehicle may have an UltraView sunroof over the
rst two rows of seats and a smaller sunroof over
the third row seat. Both have sunshades, but the back
sunroof does not open.
