during a sudden stop.
PowerFoldthird-row seat (if equipped)
The third row seat features a power one-touch operation that allows you
to adjust the Left, Right, or Both seats into a NORMAL, STOW, FOLD, or
TAILGATE position with just one touch of a button. The third row seat
also includes obstacle detection that allows the seat to stop and reverse
direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle can be removed.
The third row power seat buttons are located behind the third row seats
on the left-hand quarter trim panel.
Note:The power fold seats work only when the vehicle is in P (Park)
and the tailgate is open. If the ignition is off and the feature is still
running, the battery saver will turn it off after 10 minutes. You can
reactivate the power seats by pressing
on the remote entry key fob
or by using the unlock procedure on the keyless entry keypad. Refer to
SecuriCode™ keyless entry systemin theLocks and Securitychapter.
Keeping the key in accessory or run positions will prevent the feature
from timing out.

upholstery and improper seat function.
