seat on seven-passenger vehicles and on
both sides for six-passenger vehicles.
The control is 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 switch 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 Doors and Locks
(page 63). Keep the key in the accessory or

timing out.
Third Row Seats (Accessing the Seat) WARNINGS
Check under the seat cushion to
make sure no cargo or objects are
under the seat cushion before
returning the seat cushion to its original
position, and that the seat cushion locks
into place. Failure to do so may prevent
the seat from operating properly in the
event of a crash, which could increase the
risk of serious injury. Do not adjust a seat or release a seat
floor latch when the vehicle is
moving. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death in a sudden stop or crash. Do not drive your vehicle with a seat
that is unlatched or in the folded
position. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death in the event of a sudden stop or
crash. 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.
