To adjust the seatback, pull up on the lever 01 and lean back. This allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes to help obtain proper seat belt fit.
To fold the 2nd row captain’s chair (if so equipped) flat for maximum cargo hauling:
Remove the 2nd row center console (see “Console removal” in the “Instruments and controls” section of the Owner’s Manual).
Pull the strap 02 located in the center of the seat cushion forward, and fold the seat cushion toward the front of the vehicle.
Then lift up on the recline lever 01 to fold the seatback flat forward.
Then fold the carpet panel flap 03 toward the back of the vehicle. (The carpet panel flaps provide a level cargo floor when the 3rd row seats are also folded flat.)
Reverse this process to return the 2nd row captain’s chair to a seating position.
Make sure to properly raise the seatback to an upright position and push the seat cushion down into place.
ADJUSTING AND FOLDING THE 2ND ROW SEAT
TIP UP FOR EASY ENTRY TO THE 3RD ROW
The 2nd row outboard seats can be tipped forward for easy entry or exit from the 3rd
row bench seat. To enter the 3rd row, lift up on the latch 01 located on the upper
corner of the seatback on the 2nd row outboard seats and fold the seatback forward
at an angle at the seat base. This will release the back of the seat so it may be tipped
forward.
Then lift up on the lower corner of the seat base and tip the 2nd row outboard seat
forward. To exit the 3rd row bench seat, lift up on the same latch and fold the
seatback forward onto the seat base. Then, lift up on the seat base and tip it forward.
FOLDING THE 3RD ROW SPLIT BENCH SEAT
To fold the seats flat, disconnect and secure the center seat belt and tongues from the retractor base. Then pull up on the latch 01 located on the
outside corner of each seatback and fold the
seatback forward over the seat base.
To raise the seats, lift the seatbacks and make sure they are fully latched in the upright position.
