2015 DODGE JOURNEY fold seats

WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback and seat are locked
securely into position. Otherwise, the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause
serious injury.
50/50 Split Third-Row Passenger Seats With
Fold-Flat Feature — Seven Passenger Models
To provide additional storage area, each third-row pas-
senger seatback can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some rear seating
room if needed.
NOTE:Prior to folding the third-row passenger seat-
back, make sure the second-row passenger seatback is
not in a reclined position. This will allow the seatback to
fold easily.
To Fold The Seatback
Pull the latch release-loop located at the top of the
seatback upward, push the seatback forward slightly, and
release the release-loop. Then, continue to push the
seatback forward. The head restraints will fold automati-
cally as the seatback moves forward.

CUPHOLDERS
There are two cupholders, located in the center floor
console, for the front passengers.
For passengers in the second row there are two cuphold-
ers, located in the center armrest between the two seats.
When the armrest is folded flat the cupholders are in the
back of the Head Restraint. The Head Restraint can be
adjusted to better position the cupholders.
For vehicles equipped with third row seating, there are
additional cupholders located in the trim panels.

Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the
edge of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or slippery
areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever in PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally
opposite of the jacking position. For
example, if changing the right front
tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
Spare Tire Removal
NOTE:On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row
passenger seats flat. This will provide more space when
accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch
mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from
storage and assemble them.
