PowerFold3rd-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 the unlock button on the remote
entry key fob or by using the unlock procedure on the keyless entry
keypad. Refer toSecuriCode™ keyless entry systemin theLocks and
Securitychapter. Keeping the key in accessory or run positions will
prevent the feature from timing out.
Press the seat selection button (D) to select either right-hand seat, the
left-hand seat or both. First select the seat you would like to adjust, then
select one of the following:
•Press the NORMAL button (A) to return the seat to the normal
seating position.
•Press the STOW button (B) to stow the seat into the tub floor.
•Press the FOLD button (C) (the top portion of the button) to fold
down the seatback.
•Press the TAILGATE button (C) (the bottom portion of the button) to
put the seat into the tailgate position.
Note:Pressing a different button while the power seat feature is already
being performed may cause the first selected seat movement to be
cancelled. Allow the first seat movement to be completed before pressing
a button for another function.
