Moving the Seats Backward and

Power Fold and Tumble Seat
WARNING
Make sure that the seat is
unoccupied when folding it down.
Folding the seat while occupied
could result in occupant injury or damage
to the seat. This feature is available for the right-hand
seat on seven-passenger vehicles and on
both sides for six-passenger vehicles.
The control is located at the back of the
rear door opening. Press it to fold the
seatback down and tumble the seat
forward for access to the third row. Note:
When you turn the ignition off, the
power fold feature works until the battery
saver turns 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. See Locks (page 60).
Keep the key in the accessory or run position
to prevent the feature from timing out.
Third Row Seats (Accessing the Seat) WARNINGS
Before returning the seatback to its
original position, make sure that
cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the
seatback to its original position, pull on the
seatback to make sure that it has fully
latched. An unlatched seat may become
dangerous in the event of a sudden stop
or crash. Do not adjust or release the seat
floor latch while vehicle is in motion.
Do not operate the vehicle with seats
in the tumbled position. Always latch the
vehicle seat to the floor, whether the seat
is occupied or empty. If not latched or if
the seat is tumbled, the seat may cause
injury during a sudden stop. Note:
Remove items from the second-row
seat. Make sure that no bulky objects such
as purses or briefcases are on the floor in
front of the second-row seats before
tumbling them.
Note: For second-row bench seats, make
sure the center seatbelt is unbuckled before
folding the seatback.
Note: You may have to move the front-row
seat forward to allow the second-row seat
to be fully tumbled.
Fold and tumble the second-row seat to
access the third row.

PowerFold™Third Row Seats (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.
Note: The power fold seats work only when

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. See Keyless Entry
(page 67). Keep the key in the accessory or
run position to prevent the feature from

located behind the third row seats on the
left-hand quarter trim panel.
