cause injury during a sudden stop.

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.

on the left-hand quarter trim panel.

Note:The power fold seats work only when the transmission is in park
(P) 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. SeeSecuriCode keyless keypadin theLockschapter. Keep the
key in the accessory or run position to 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 seat back.
•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.
Note:Make sure that there are no objects such as books, purses or brief
cases on the load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure to remove all
objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause
damage to the seat.
Note:In order to allow the seat to complete the stowed position, do not
place objects under the seat before stowing. Remove all objects from the

upholstery and improper seat function.
